본 연구에서는 유기인 유도체 중 생리활성이 커서 독성이 있는 화합물의 구조를 분석하였다. 5-[(b-monoaza-15-crown-5)ethyloxy]-2iodosbenzoic acid의 IBA 촉매를 합성하여 그 반응성을 p-nitrophenyldiphenylphosphate (PNPDPP)와 Isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (Sarin GB), Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (Soman, GD)를 기질로 하여 연구하였다. PNPDPP 가수분해 반응에서는 긴 알킬작용기로 친유성을 증가시킨 촉매가 더 상전이 촉매로 작용함이 확인되었다.(t1/2 = 5 sec, pH = 8.07)

Pesticide waste and chemical stockpiles are posing a potential threat to both Vie environment and human health. There is currently a great effort toward developing effective and economical methods for the detoxification of these toxic organophosphates. In terms of safety and economy, enzymatic biodegradation has been recommended as the most promising tool to detoxify these toxic materials. To develop an enzymatic degradation method to detoxify such toxic organophosphorus compounds, a gene encoding organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA) from genomic DNA of Alteromonas haloplanktis C was subcloned and expressed. The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 48 kDa. It demonstrates strong hydrolyzing activity on sarin, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Moreover, its high activity is sustained for a considerable length of time. It is projected that the recombinant OPAA can be applied as an enzymatic tool that can be used not only for the detoxification of pesticide wastes, but also for the demilitarization of chemical stockpiles.
