Overwhelming amount of heavy metals discharged due to industrialization is a serious global concern. Thus, an investigation was done on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Asian swamp eel, Monopterus albus, as an alternative biosensor to detect various metal ions. AChE from the brain of M. albus was pu...
