Article Abstract
An enhanced understanding of the metal ion binding and active site structural features of phosphoesterases such as the glycerophosphodiesterase from Enterobacter aerogenes (GpdQ), and the organophosphate degrading agent from Agrobacterium radiobacter (OpdA) have important consequences for potential applications. Coupled with investigations of the metalloenzymes, programs of study to synthesise and characterise model complexes based on these metalloenzymes can add to our understanding of structure and function of the enzymes themselves. This review summarises some of our work and illustrates the significance and contributions of model studies to knowledge in the area.
