About this document

Catalytic Mechanisms of Phosphotriesterases by fernandadezideiro is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses catalytic mechanisms of phosphotriesterases, enzymes that can break down toxic organophosphates. Several classes of enzymes from different sources have been found to have phosphotriesterase activity by hydrolyzing the phosphotriester bond, including phosphotriesterase, methyl parathion hydrolase, organophosphorus acid anhydrolase, diisopropylfluorophosphatase, and paraoxonase 1. While these enzymes differ in structure and catalytic mechanism, they all require a divalent metal ion tha
