A sensitive enzymeless organophosphate pesticides (OPs) sensor is fabricated by using Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated graphene nanosheets (GNs) modified glassy carbon electrode as solid phase extraction (SPE). Such a nanostructured composite film, combining the advantages of AuNPs with two dimensional GNs, dramatically facilitates the enrichment of nitroaromatic OPs onto the surface and realizes their stripping voltammetric detection of OPs by using methyl parathion (MP) as a model. The stripping voltammetric performances of captured MP were evaluated by cyclic voltammetric and square-wave voltammetric analysis. The combination of the nanoassembly of AuNPs-GNs, SPE, and stripping voltammetry provides a fast, simple, and sensitive electrochemical method for detecting nitroaromatic OPs. The stripping analysis is highly linear over the MP concentration ranges of 0.001-0.1 and 0.2-1.0 μg mL(-1) with a detection limit of 0.6 ng mL(-1). This designed enzymeless sensor exhibits good reproducibility and acceptable stability.

    72-day-old standard cross (ST) larvae were treated with different dillapiol and spinosad concentrations. Both compounds presented positive genetic toxicity, mainly as mitotic recombination events. Distilled water and doxorubicin (DXR) were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. CONCLU...

    We showed that the ability of GolS to distinguish Au from Cu resides in the metal-binding loop motif. Here, we identify the amino acids within the motif that determine in vivo metal selectivity. We show that residues at positions 113 and 118 within the metal-binding loop are the main contributors to...
