Comments: PepQ from Alteromonas sp. and Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis was also shown to efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis of toxic organophosphorus cholinesterase-inhibiting compounds including insecticide paraoxon and nerve gases such as O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (sarin) and O-pinacolyl (soman).
