Application

Potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.[1][2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent inhibitor of serine proteases and acetylcholinesterase; inhibits cathepsin G, cholinesterase, coagulation factor Xa, leucocyte elastase, pancreatic elastase, tissue kallikrein, plasmin, subtilisin, and thrombin. Inhibits apoptosis induced by ricin and bacterial toxins.
Potent inhibitor of serine proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, and of acetylcholinesterase; also inhibits cathepsin G, cholinesterase, coagulation factor Xa, leucocyte elastase, pancreatic elastase, tissue kallikrein, plasmin, subtilisin, and thrombin. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase makes this compound especially toxic. Inhibits apoptosis induced by ricin and bacterial toxins.

Analysis Note

Typically used at a concentration of 0.10 mM. A safer alternative inhibitor for serine protease is phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF).

Protein conformational fluctuations are critical for biological functions, although the relationship between protein motion and function has yet to be fully explored. By a thorough bioinformatics analysis of cholinesterases (ChEs), we identified specific hot spots, responsible for protein fluctuations and
