Spontaneous reactivation of phosphorylated and carbamylated cholinesterases

Elsa Reiner
PMCID: PMC2428035  PMID: 5315341

Abstract

This paper presents, in tabular form, extensive data on the rates of spontaneous reactivation of phosphorylated and carbamylated cholinesterases from numerous animal species. The half-lives clearly indicate the influence of the acyl group of the inhibitor and that of the source of the enzyme.
