1. Organophosphorus compounds that produce a delayed neurotoxic effect in hens phosphorylate a specific site in the brain soon after administration. 2. Phosphorylation of the specific site by di-isopropyl [32P]phosphorofluoridatein vitrois blocked by the prior addition of phenyl phenylacetate. 3. A small proportion of the total activity of hen brain hydrolysing phenyl phenylacetatein vitrowas shown to be due to an enzyme different from two others previously described. 4. This enzyme is only slightly inhibitedin vitroby concentrations of tetraethyl pyrophosphate and paraoxon (diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate) up to 64μmand is completely inhibited by 6μm-di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate and 128μm-mipafox. 5. It is also inhibitedin vivoby effective doses of neurotoxic organophosphorus compounds but not by high doses of non-neurotoxic analogues. 6. It is deduced that the active site of this enzyme is the phosphorylation site associated with the genesis of delayed neurotoxicity.
