Organophosphate insecticides inhibit the development of pests by blocking the metabolisation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and making a strong bond at the active site of acetylcholinesterase. In this present study, Monopterus albus acetylcholinesterase was tested to evaluate its sensitivity...
