Efficient Detection of Nerve Agents through Carbon Nitride Quantum Dots: A DFT Approach [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2023 V-series nerve agents are very lethal to health and cause the inactivation of acetylcholinesterase which leads to neuromuscular paralysis and, finally, death. Therefore, rapid detection and elimination of V-series nerve agents are very important. Herein,

Hydrolysis and enzymatic degradation of Novichok nerve agents [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Several parameters of the Novichok nerve agents A230, A232 and A234 were determined. Hydrolysis rates were approximately one to three orders of magnitude slower than G-type nerve agents and approximately zero to two orders of magnitude slower than V-type

Molecular Recognition of Nerve Agents and Their Organophosphorus Surrogates: Toward Supramolecular Scavengers and Catalysts. [PDF]
Chemistry, 2021 Nerve agents are tetrahedral organophosphorus compounds (OPs) that were developed in the last century to irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and therefore impede neurological signaling in living organisms.

Catalytic Degradation of Nerve Agents [PDF]
Catalysts, 2020 Nerve agents (NAs) are a group of highly toxic organophosphorus compounds developed before World War II. They are related to organophosphorus pesticides, although they have much higher human acute toxicity than commonly used pesticides.
