Biodegradable Molecules for the Treatment of Organophosphate Poisoning

EurekAlert

A new article was published in Chemico-Biological Interaction by the Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering research group of Tallinn University of Technology. This study sheds light on applications of existing competence on designing biodegradable molecules in an innovative way – to develop novel antidotes against organophosphate poisoning. Acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system. It catalyses the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acet
