Review on the use of enzymes for the detection of organochlorine, organophosphate and carbamate pesticides in the environment.

TL;DR: Enzymatic methods of detection of pesticides can serve as a tool for screening large samples which can be followed up with the more traditional chromatographic methods of analysis.

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles as versatile carriers and supporting materials for enzymes

TL;DR: As a very promising strategy, superparamagnetic nanoparticles based on magnetite and maghemite have been recently employed as supporting materials for enzymes, exhibiting striking characteristics, such as large surface area, mobility and high mass transference.

Microfluidic Assays of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors

TL;DR: A microfabricated device for flow injection analysis and electrophoretic separation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors is described, and a Gaussian peak was observed for competitive inhibitors, whereas a broad negative peak was seen for irreversible inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design of acetylcholinesterases for biosensor applications

TL;DR: Approaches to purify recombinant AChEs to a degree that is suitable for analytical applications will be elucidated as well as the various attempts that have been undertaken to increase the sensitivity of AChE to specified organophosphates and carbamates using side-directed mutagenesis and employing the enzyme in different assay formats.

Evaluation of the use of free and immobilised acetylcholinesterase for paraoxon detection with an amperometric choline oxidase based biosensor

TL;DR: In this article, a free and immobilised acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was used for the development of an amperometric biosensor for organophosphorus (OP) insecticides based on enzyme inhibition.

A new and rapid colorimetric determination of acetylcholinesterase activity.

TL;DR: A photometric method for determining acetylcholinesterase activity of tissue extracts, homogenates, cell suspensions, etc., has been described and Kinetic constants determined by this system for erythrocyte eholinesterases are presented.

Sensitive detection of pesticides using amperometric sensors based on cobalt phthalocyanine-modified composite electrodes and immobilized cholinesterases

TL;DR: The determination of organophosphate and carbamate pesticides was carried out using cobalt phthalocyanine-modified carbon epoxy composite electrodes coupled with acetyl- or butyrylthiocholine as substrates and detection limits are similar as those obtained when analyses were performed using free cholinesterase and 10 min incubation with inhibitor.

Sensitive detection of pesticides using a differential ISFET-based system with immobilized cholinesterases

TL;DR: The optimized parameters for the measurement procedure were determined and the detection limits were found to be 10 −12 M for DFP and 10 −6 M for paraoxon-methyl and trichlorfon.
