Chemical warfare agents constitute one of the greatest threats in the modern world. Among
them, the neurotoxic agents are of special interest due to their high lethality and danger …

The misuse of novichok agents in assassination attempts has been reported in the
international media since 2018. These relatively new class of neurotoxic agents is claimed …

The nerve agents of the A-series are relatively recent chemical weapons with no antidote
available yet. Once inside the human body, those chemicals act similarly to the classic nerve …

Background Based on in vitro and in vivo rat experiments, the newly developed
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivator, K203, appears to be much more effective in the …

Abstract The Near Attack Conformation (NAC) approach states that the efficiency of an
enzyme-catalyzed reaction depends on the prior attainment of optimal conditions for …

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a crucial enzyme in the cholinergic nervous system that
hydrolyzes neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and terminates synaptic signals. The …

The present work describes a simple integrated Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics
method developed to study the reactivation steps by pralidoxime (2-PAM) of …

The elucidation of the reactivation routes of human acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) inhibited
by organophosphorous compounds is of crucial importance to the development of efficient …
