Role of Php domain and related enzymes in the enzymatic degradation of G-series nerve agents
摘要
The enzymatic breakdown of organophosphate (OP) nerve agents marks a pivotal advancement in both bioremediation and biodefense. This review explores the genetic diversity and evolutionary lineage of phosphotriesterase-related proteins across multiple species, with a particular focus on the Php domain, key to substrate recognition and hydrolysis. The study underscores the functional importance of Php-containing enzymes in neutralizing G-series nerve agents, highlighting their promise for environmental detoxification and defense applications. By laying the groundwork for enzyme-based OP degradation strategies, this work emphasizes the need for continued research and optimization of these enzymes and their microbial hosts to support sustainable remediation efforts.
