Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a well-known enzyme sensitive to pesticide exposure, but heavy metal sensitivity is rarely reported. Here, AChE extracted from the brain tissue of Diodon hystrix was exploited and used in a fast and economical way to sensitively detect the existence of heavy metals in...
