Study on acetylcholinesterase inhibition induced by endogenous neurotoxin with an enzyme-semiconductor photoelectrochemical system.

The integration of Au-doped TiO(2) nanotubes with biomolecule acetylcholinesterase (AChE) yields a novel AChE-Au-TiO(2) hybrid system, which provides a new rapid and valid photoelectrochemical approach to the determination of AChE inhibition induced by endogenous neurotoxin.
