Description

Linuron is a surfactant that belongs to the class of compounds called sodium dodecyl. It has a basic structure with one long hydrocarbon chain and two short hydrocarbon chains. Linuron reacts with the enzyme active site and inactivates it, inhibiting its normal function. The reaction mechanism of linuron is through adsorption to the enzyme active site and subsequent inhibition of enzyme activity. This reaction is reversible, so enzymes reactivate when linuron leaves the active site. Linuron has been shown to have toxicological effects on cells in some studies, but not all. Studies also show that linuron can cause genotoxic effects in some model systems.
