Tuning Butyrylcholinesterase Inactivation and Reactivation by Polymer‐Based Protein Engineering

Abstract Organophosphate nerve agents rapidly inhibit cholinesterases thereby destroying the ability to sustain life. Strong nucleophiles, such as oximes, have been used as therapeutic reactivators of cholinesterase‐organophosphate complexes, but suffer from short half‐lives and limited efficacy acr...
