Visible light assisted enzyme-photocatalytic cascade degradation of organophosphorus pesticides
The worldwide application of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) has promoted agricultural development, but their gradual accumulation in soil and water can seriously affect the central nervous system of humans and other mammals. Organophosphorus hydrolase

Conformational variability of organophosphorus hydrolase upon soman and paraoxon binding. [PDF]
The bacterial enzyme organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) exhibits both catalytic and substrate promiscuity. It hydrolyzes bonds in a variety of phosphotriester (P-O), phosphonothioate (P-S), phosphofluoridate (P-F), and phosphonocyanate (F-CN) compounds. However, its catalytic efficiency varies markedly for different substrates, limiting the broad-range ...

New Trends in Biosensors for Organophosphorus Pesticides
Biosensors are sensitive and can be used as disposable sensors for environmental control. These biosensors are based either on inhibition of acyl cholinesterases acetylcholinesterase or butyrylcholinesterase) by organophosphorus compounds or on ...

Progress in protein engineering of Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH)
Abstract The biodegradation of organophosphorus pesticides is characterized by high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, no stimulation, environmental friendliness and no secondary pollution, however, the hydrolysis activity, expression level and thermal stability of wild-type enzymes restrict the practical application of biodegradation
