Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
side-chain modification | covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to enzymes is a prominent solution to overcome these issues. PEGylation enlarges the hydrodynamic radius of proteins and shields its surface. PEG modification increases the stability against proteases, reduces immunogenicity, and delays renal excretion significantly leading to prolonged half-life, reduced side effects, and increased pharmacological efficiency | Loligo vulgaris |

diisopropyl fluorophosphate + H2O = diisopropyl phosphate + fluoride | analysis of the catalytic reaction mechanism of the enzyme. Proposed mechanism for phosphoenzyme intermediate formation involving Asp229 as the nucleophile. (i) Asp229 attacks the phosphorus center of DFP to form a pentavalent intermediate and (ii) the P-F bond dissociates to form a tetrahedral phosphoenzyme intermediate. Hydrolysis of the phosphoenzyme intermediate is not shown. And proposed mechanism for hydrolysis involving an activated water as the nucleophile. (i) Asp229 abstracts a proton from a water molecule either stepwise or in concert as (ii) water attacks the phosphorus center, (iii) Glu21 abstracts a proton either stepwise or in concert as water forms a bond with phosphorus, and (iv) the P-F bond dissociates | Loligo vulgaris |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

additional information | in detoxification of nerve gas compounds or pesticides in the human body, due to non-human origin of the enzyme, immunological reactions occur when it is injected into body. In order to using DFPase as in vivo detoxifying agent, some manipulations to augment of its efficiency and to decrease of immunogenic problems are needed. Modifications such as PEGylation is one of the possible solutions to conquer these problems | Loligo vulgaris |
