AGED FORM OF MOUSE ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITED BY TABUN
|
Overview
Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) interfere with the catalytic mechanism of, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by rapidly phosphorylating the catalytic, serine residue. The inhibited enzyme can at least partly be reactivated, with nucleophilic reactivators such as oximes. The covalently attached OP, conjugate may undergo further intramolecular dealkylation or deamidation, reactions, a process termed "aging" that results in an enzyme considered, completely resistant to reactivation. Of particular interest is the, inhibition and aging reaction of the OP compound tabun since tabun, conjugates display an extraordinary resistance toward most reactivators of, today. To investigate the structural basis for this resistance, we, determined the crystal structures of Mus musculus AChE (mAChE) inhibited, by ... [(full description)]
