1 We previously reported a free cysteine (Cys) residue at the entrance to the AChE active site in some insects but not higher vertebrates. Cysteine acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
2 We previously reported a free cysteine (Cys) residue at the entrance to the AChE active site in some insects but not higher vertebrates. Cysteine acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
3 We also reported Cys-targeting methanethiosulfonate molecules (AMTSn), which, under conditions that spared human AChE, caused total irreversible inhibition of aphid AChE, 95% inhibition of AChE from the malaria vector mosquito (Anopheles gambia), and >80% inhibition of activity from the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) and northern house mosquito (Culex pipiens). Cysteine acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
