from a nylon and chitosan blend https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3886 20% of its initial activity after 9 consecutive reuse cycles. When exposed to fixed concentrations of carbofuran or demeton-S-methyl sulfone, immobilised acetylcholinesterase showed similar inhibition characteristics to that of the free enzyme. The decrease in enzyme activity observed after immobilisation to the nanofibres may have been due to several reasons which include some enzyme molecules being immobilised in structural conformations which reduced substrate access to the catalytic site, participation of the catalytic residues in immobilisation and enzyme denaturation due to the reaction conditions used for acetylcholinesterase immobilisation. Similar observations have been widely reported in literature and this is one of the major drawbacks of enzyme immobilisation. In conclusion, nylon-6:chitosan electrospun nanofibres were shown to be suitable supports for facile acetylcholinesterase immobilisation and the immobilised enzyme has potential for use in pesticide detection. Future recommendations for this study include a comparative study of the GA cross-linking method for AChE immobilisation which will lead to more intensely bound enzyme molecules to prevent non-specific binding. An investigation into the effect of inhibitors on stored immobilised AChE, as well as reactivation and reuse studies, may also be useful for determining the cost-effectiveness of reusing immobilised AChE for pesticide detection in environmental water samples. Several models have been designed for the determination of the kinetic parameters for immobilised enzymes. These take into account the mass transfer resistance as well as the overall charge of the immobilisation matrix. The use of these models to analyse experimental data will give a clear understanding of the effects of immobilisation on enzyme activity]]> Thu 13 May 2021 08:19:14 SAST ]]> The effectiveness of livestock guarding dogs for livestock production and conservation in Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10680 Thu 13 May 2021 08:17:23 SAST ]]> Public understanding of malaria in pregnancy : selected Dar es Salaam audiences' reception of the health education film Chumo https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3544 Thu 13 May 2021 07:21:35 SAST ]]> Workshop theatre in post-apartheid South Africa : a case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2156 Thu 13 May 2021 07:16:39 SAST ]]> The fact and meaning of the resurrection : a study in emphases https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1289 Thu 13 May 2021 07:04:24 SAST ]]> Revolutionary Overthrow of Constitutional Orders in Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29828 Thu 13 May 2021 05:52:35 SAST ]]> Feministiese vertelstrategieë in 'n metafiksionele teks van Jeanne Goosen https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3576 Thu 13 May 2021 04:24:28 SAST ]]> The barefoot road https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5989 Thu 13 May 2021 04:22:49 SAST ]]> The anorexic mask : a case study of a patient with co-morbid nervosa and factitious disorder? https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3105 Thu 13 May 2021 04:17:07 SAST ]]> Solid waste management and its implications on livestock health in selected abattoirs of the Eastern Cape province, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39250 Thu 13 May 2021 03:34:52 SAST ]]> Sexy sports: a reception study of the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) Olympics website coverage of women's beach volleyball at the 2008 Beijing Olympics https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3486 Thu 13 May 2021 03:24:00 SAST ]]> A review of landscape development and erosion cycles in southern Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4899 Thu 13 May 2021 02:49:59 SAST ]]> An investigation of instructional leadership in a Namibian rural school https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1633 Thu 13 May 2021 02:27:53 SAST ]]> Trends and determinants of inward foreign direct investment to South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:995 Thu 13 May 2021 02:08:15 SAST ]]> Exploring the influence of spirituality on students' well-being https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2918 Thu 13 May 2021 01:19:06 SAST ]]> 'Carrying the fire' : Cormac McCarthy's moral philosophy https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2217 Thu 13 May 2021 00:10:51 SAST ]]> Prioritising native fish populations for conservation using genetics in the Groot Marico catchment, North West Province, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29390 Sat 04 Dec 2021 12:43:33 SAST ]]>
