Abstract
Inhibition of immobilized acetylcholinesterase by aflatoxin B1 in a potentiometric biosensor
Highlights
Aflatoxins, the secondary metabolites of molds, are the life-threatening mycotoxins
Results and Discussion pH of the working buffer is a key parameter that is expected to affect the biosensor performance, since it is known to have a major impact on the enzyme stability and activity
The detailed study of the mechanism of immobilized acetylcholinesterase inhibition by aflatoxin B1 within the potentiometric biosensor was presented in the work
Summary
Aflatoxins, the secondary metabolites of molds, are the life-threatening mycotoxins. Aflatoxins are produced by some strains of microscopic fungi of the genus Aspergillus. They are able to grow and form toxins on various natural substrates such as raw materials for food products, fodder and other foodstuffs. Aflatoxins in large amounts occur most commonly in peanuts and corn; they can accumulate in various nuts, oilseeds, wheat, barley, cocoa and coffee beans. The aflatoxin family is represented by four natural aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and more than 10 compounds, which are the metabolites or derivatives of the main group (M1, M2, V2A, G2a, GM1, P1 , Q1, etc.) [1]
