Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is generally used as an inhibitive assay for insecticides. A lesser-known property of AChE is its inhibition by heavy metals. In this work, we evaluate an AChE from silver catfish brain (Pangasius sp.), wasted from aquaculture industry, as an inhibitive assay for heavy me...
