Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of echothiophate, a P-S bonded organophosphorus (OP) model, was spectrofluorimetrically monitored, using Calbiochem Probe IV as the thiol reagent. OP hydrolases were: the G117H mutant of human butyrylcholinesterase capable of hydrolyzing OPs, and a multiple mutant of phosphotriesterase, GG1, designed to hydrolyze a large spectrum of OPs at high rate, including V agents. Molecular modeling of interaction between Probe IV and OP hydrolases (G117H butyrylcholinesterase, GG1, wild types of and phosphotriesterases, and human paraoxonase-1) was performed.

The single residue mutation of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) hydrolyzes a number of organophosphosphorus (OP) anticholinesterases. Whereas other BChE active site/proximal mutations have been investigated, none are sufficiently active to be prophylactically useful. In a fundamentally different computer simulations driven strategy, we identified a surface peptide loop (residues 278-285) exhibiting dynamic motions during catalysis and modified it via residue insertions.

A computer-designed mutant of human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), N322E/E325G, with a novel catalytic triad was made. The catalytic triad of the wild-type enzyme (S198·H438·E325) was replaced by S198·H438·N322E in silico. Molecular dynamics for 1.
