15% v/v, 128% of initial activity, 30% v/v, 155% of initial activity
acetonitrile
beta-mercaptoethanol
di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
-
induced by di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
dimethylformamide
dithiothreitol
ethanol
ethylene glycol
-
little activating effect, except at high concentrations, 1 M
ethylene glycol monoethyl ether
-
little activating effect, except at high concentrations, 1 M
glycerol
some increase for the activity of the wild-type enzyme treated with acetone
Isopropanol
-
15% v/v, 155% of initial activity, 30% v/v, 117% of initial activity
lysophosphatidylcholine
-
activate
methanol
Mn2+
10% activation of recombinant BioHs at 10 mM
n-butanol
-
0.1 M, increases activity
n-heptane
the enzyme activity is activated at 10% v/v by 10%
n-hexane
NaCl
-
optimum activity occurs at 0.5 M NaCl (w/v) with 116% activity
phosphatidylcholine
-
activates
phosphatidylethanolamine
-
activates
sarin
-
for enzyme inhibited by racemic mixtures of bona fide nerve agents, hCE1 spontaneously reactivates in the presence of sarin but not soman or cyclosarin. The addition of 2,3-butanedione monoxime increases the rate of reactivation of CE1 from sarin inhibition by more than 65fold
Sodium tripolyphosphate

taurocholate
Triton X-100
Triton X-15
3.3fold increased activity
