A Sensitive and Selective Colorimetric Method Based on the Acetylcholinesterase-like Activity of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 and Its Applications.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a simple colorimetric method was established to detect copper ion (Cu²⁺), sulfathiazole (ST), and glucose based on the acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-like activity of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The AChE-like activity of ZIF-8 can hydrolyze acetylthiocholine chloride (ATCh) to thiocholine (TCh), which will further react with 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to generate 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid (TNB) that has a maximum absorption peak at 405 nm. The effects of different reaction conditions (buffer pH, the volume of ZIF-8, reaction temperature and time, and ATCh concentration) were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the value of the Michaelis-Menten constant (K_m) is measured to be 0.83 mM, which shows a high affin
