Acetylcholinester ase (AChE) generally known to be sensitive toward insecticides but its sensitivity toward heavy metals was least reported. Herein, a sensitive assay for heavy metals has been pursued using AChE in a rapid and economic manner. The AChE from a mudskipper, Periophthalmodon schlosseri...
