Abstract

Abstract Biotinylated acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Eel was immobilized to a biotinylated cellulose nitrate membrane via a streptavidin bridge. Using a light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), enzyme activity was determined as a function of substrate concentration (i.e. acetylcholine) and amount of enzyme immobilized to the membrane. This biosensor was also evaluated for its potential to detect organophosphate (OP) anticholinesterases (antiChEs).
