Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is usually 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 brains of striped snakehead (Channa striatus) wastes from aquaculture industry as an inhibitive assay for heav...
