Enzyme monolayer-functionalized field-effect transistors for biosensor applications

TL;DR: The enzyme-thin-layered FET devices as biosensors demonstrated capability to sense urea, glucose, acetylcholine and N -acetyl- l -tyrosine ethyl ester, respectively, results from the low diffusion barrier for the substrate penetration to the biocatalytic active sites and minute isolation of the pH-sensitive gate surface from the bulk solution.

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.

Whole-cell biosensors for environmental monitoring

TL;DR: The development of a mediated amperometric biosensor, incorporating the cyanobacterium Synechococcus as the biocatalyst, for on-line herbicide monitoring is described, able to detect a wide range of herbicides with sites of action on the photosynthetic electron transport chain.

Biosensor for detection of organophosphate and carbamate insecticides

TL;DR: An enzyme sensor for the determination of organophosphate and carbamate insecticides is described, based on the coimmobilization and sequential enzymatic reactions of acetylcholinesterase and choline oxidase.

Pesticide-sensitive ISFET based on enzyme inhibition

TL;DR: A simple method for an enzyme inhibition test is described, where the enzyme acetylcholinesterase is immobilized onto the pH-sensitive gate area of an ISFET and the decrease in enzyme activity after incubation in a solution of dichlorvos as inhibitor is detected potentiometrically.
