title: Biosensors for direct determination of organophosphate pesticides.
abstract: Direct, selective, rapid and simple determination of organophosphate pesticides has been achieved by integrating organophosphorus hydrolase with electrochemical and opitical transducers. Organophosphorus hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a wide range of organophosphate compounds, releasing an acid and an alcohol that can be detected directly. This article reviews development, characterization and applications of organophosphorus hydrolase-based potentiometric, amperometric and optical biosensors.
