Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of Diodon hystrix brain as an alternative biomolecule in heavy metals biosensing

The continuous discharge of toxic materials into the environment has been an alarming issue faced around the globe. Hence, matching the effort of monitoring activity is vital to coping with the overwhelming amount of metal ions. Along with the significant current research being conducted, this study...
