Arylesterase Phenotype-Specific Positive Association Between Arylesterase Activity and Cholinesterase Specific Activity in Human Serum [PDF]
Context: Cholinesterase (ChE) specific activity is the ratio of ChE activity to ChE mass and, as a biomarker of exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors, has a potential advantage over simple ChE activity. Objective: To examine the association of several potential correlates (serum arylesterase/paraoxonase activity, serum albumin, sex, age, month of blood

Separation and quantitative recovery of mouse serum arylesterase and carboxylesterase activity
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is known to be associated with high density lipoproteins. We optimized buffer conditions to obtain quantitative recovery of PON1 (arylesterase) activity and analyzed the distribution of PON1 in mice using a combination of size ...

PON1 status does not influence cholinesterase activity in Egyptian agricultural workers exposed to chlorpyrifos. [PDF]
Animal studies have shown that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) genotype can influence susceptibility to the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF). However, Monte Carlo analysis suggests that PON1 genotype may not affect CPF-related toxicity at low exposure ...

Functional Trade-Offs in Promiscuous Enzymes Cannot Be Explained by Intrinsic Mutational Robustness of the Native Activity. [PDF]
The extent to which an emerging new function trades off with the original function is a key characteristic of the dynamics of enzyme evolution. Various cases of laboratory evolution have unveiled a characteristic trend; a large increase in a new ...
