Synthetic compounds: a wrong sp← Previous revisionRevision as of 12:48, 31 October 2026 Line 83: Line 83: ==== Organophosphates ==== ==== Organophosphates ==== PON1, the first member of the class, was originally discovered for its role in the breakdown of organophosphates. Two [[Enzyme Commision numbers]] are assigned to this group of functions: [[aryldialkylphosphatase]] (EC 3.1.8.1; "ADPase") for the digestion of paraxon; and a [[DFPase]] (EC 3.8.2.2) activity in the digestion of fluorinated nerve agents.
