▪ Abstract Recent events have emphasized the threat from chemical and biological warfare
agents. Within the efforts to counter this threat, the biocatalytic destruction and sensing of …

The extreme toxicity of organophosphorous‐based compounds has been known since the
late 1930s. Starting in the mid‐1940s, many nations throughout the world have been …

We previously demonstrated that a combination of cholinesterase (ChE) pre-treatment with
an oxime is an effective measure against soman and sarin. We describe here a novel …

The biocatalytic destruction of organophosphates has become an important focus area, as
efficient “clean” technologies are sought for chemical weapons decommissioning …

Active enzymes and other active biomolecules sequestered in paints and coatings have the
potential to provide one of the more unique surface coatings yet identified. We report here …

Nanocapsules of organophosphorous hydrolase with enhanced enzyme activity and stability
are prepared via in situ polymerization, providing a novel class of nanoparticles for the …

Nerve agents (NAs) are a group of highly toxic organophosphorus compounds developed
before World War II. They are related to organophosphorus pesticides, although they have …

Pesticide wastes generated from livestock dipping operations containing the
organophosphate (OP) insecticide coumaphos (CP) are well suited for disposal by …

The organophosphorus chemical warfare agents were initially synthesized in the 1930's and
are some of the most toxic compounds ever discovered. The standard means of …

Enhancing the stability of enzymes under different working environments is essential if the
potential of enzyme-based applications is to be realized for nanomedicine, sensing and …
