Abstract
The sensitive and accurate determination of glyphosate (Glyp) is urgently demanded because it is closely correlated with human health and environmental safety. In this work, we proposed a sensitive and convenient colorimetric assay by employing copper ion peroxidases for the detection of Glyp in the environment. Free Cu(II) ions displayed high peroxidase activity and can catalytically oxidize the colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue oxTMB, resulting in an obviously visible discoloration reaction. Once the Glyp is added, the ability of copper ions to mimic peroxidase can be largely suppressed because of the generation of Glyp-Cu2+ chelate. The favorable selectivity and sensitivity were demonstrated in the colorimetric analysis of Glyp. Furthermore, this rapid and sensitive method was successfully applied in the accurate and reliable determination of glyphosate in the real sample, holding promising applications in pesticide determination in the environment.
