This invention relates to a method for detoxication of inorganic or organic esters including OP nerve agents, cocaine, and respective analogs. More specifically, this invention pertains to the treatment of potentially neurotoxic esters or other ester groups by elaborating a more effective hydrolytic enzyme for therapeutic application. The structures of the synthesized OP analogs are provided. This invention also provides a diagnostic method and an Array Biosensor for detecting OP agents in biological and environmental samples.
