Methods for determining invertebrate- and insect-specific, such as mosquito-specific, residues of acetylcholinesterases are provided herein. The methods can be used to design pesticides and insecticides that are specific for the invertebrate or insect (e.g., mosquito) enzymes, resulting in reduced toxicity concerns for mammals. Compositions for inhibiting invertebrate and insect (e.g., mosquito) acetylcholinesterases and methods for preparing the same are also provided.
