Enhanced activity and stability of organophosphorus hydrolase via interaction with an amphiphilic polymer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple approach to enhancing the activity and stability of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) is developed based on interactions between the hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) block of amphiphilic Pluronics and the enzyme. This strategy provides an efficient route to new formulations for decontaminating organophosphate neurotoxins.

Evaluation of the organophosphorus hydrolase enzyme activity in creams and investigation of its stability
The main purpose of this project is investigation of the organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) enzyme activity in water in oil (w/o) and oil in water (o/w) creams and investigation of the OPH enzyme stability in formulated creams. OPH enzyme was extracted and purified from strain flavobacterium. The w/o and o/w creams were prepared using different formulations. In order to achieve an emulsion with m...

A versatile gene-fusion technique for immobilizing and visualizing biologically active enzymes which includes from the N to C-termini, an affinity histidine tag, the green fluorescent protein (GFP), a proteolytic enzyme (enterokinase, EK) cleavage site and the enzyme of interest, were developed. Specifically, the organophosphorus hydrolase was bound to the affinity (His(6))-reporter(GFP)-EK fus...
متن کاملOrganophosphate compounds and their biodegradation; using enzymes as an increased efficiency approach
Organophosphorus compounds are widely used in pesticides, insecticides in agriculture and as nervous chemical agents. These chemicals inhibit the acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity that is responsible for the nervous impulse in organisms. This effect leads to an increase in acetylcholine level and finally neuronal complications. Many methods are used to degrade and decontaminate these compou...
متن کاملEnhanced stability of enzyme organophosphate hydrolase interfaced on the carbon nanotubes.
In this paper we demonstrate that SWNTs and a covalent immobilization strategy enable very sensitive sensors with excellent long term stability. Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) functionalized single and multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) conjugates were exploited for direct amperometric detection of paraoxon, a model organophosphate. The catalytic hydrolysis of paraoxon produces equimoles of p...
