N2 - The chemical weapons exert their terrifying effects by interrupting biological processes. Fortunately, they can also be degraded by enzymes through fortuitous side reactions. The activity of these enzymes can be the ground of our defensive arsenal. Nowadays, the spectrum of such enzymatic tools are significantly widened and enriched due to the fast appearance of new biochemical methods utilizing natural catalysts, enzymes, for the transformation of non-natural man-made organic compounds. Enzymes provide high catalytic efficiency with minimal unit consumption. As natural proteins, enzymes contribute to the “green” solution of the decontamination problems.
