Fish is a living organism that can be used as a sensitive biomarker, while their enzyme such cholinesterase (ChE) acts as a biosensor device that is able to detect the presence of organophosphate in the water. This study was carried out to extract and purify the ChE enzyme from the muscle tissue of...
