Enzymatic Bioremediation of Organophosphate Compounds—Progress and Remaining Challenges
Organophosphate compounds are ubiquitously employed as agricultural pesticides and maintained as chemical warfare agents by several nations. These compounds are highly toxic, show environmental persistence and accumulation, and contribute to numerous ...

Root enhancement in cytokinin-deficient oilseed rape causes leaf mineral enrichment, increases the chlorophyll concentration under nutrient limitation and enhances the phytoremediation capacity [PDF]
Background Cytokinin is a negative regulator of root growth, and a reduction of the cytokinin content or signalling causes the formation a larger root system in model plants, improves their growth under drought and nutrient limitation and causes ...

Esterases in marine dinoflagellates and resistance to the organophosphate insecticide parathion [PDF]
Esterases are involved in the susceptibility or resistance of organisms to organophosphate pesticides. We have examined the action of parathion on the marine dinoflagellates Crypthecodinium cohnii and Prorocentrum micans by looking at their esterases ...

Rational Design and Directed Evolution of Human Paraoxonase I (huPON1) for Increased Solubility and Stability in E. coli [PDF]
Paraoxonase I (PON1) is a serum hydrolase that has been found to hydrolyze organophosphates (OP), such as VX and sarin. Because human PON1 (huPON1) is a human protein with reasonable activity, it seems like a promising therapeutic agent against OP ...
