  • RECOMBINANT ORGANOPHOSPHOROUS ACID ANHYDRASE AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20080206834
    Abstract: The bacterial gene (opd) encodes an organophosphorus anhydrase which is capable of hydrolyzing a wide spectrum of neurotoxins ranging from insecticides to mammalian neurotoxins. The cloned gene has been expressed in a number of hosts and the purified enzyme has been characterized. These advances have led to a number of interrelated uses for the cloned gene and the recombinant enzyme including: detoxification of organophosphorus compounds; detection of organophosphorus compounds; protection of susceptible organisms from organophosphorus poisoning; and, detection of organophosphorus-detoxifying microorganisms.
