A luminescence reaction that is modeled on the fireflies can possibly detect the contamination with the organophosphates along with the high sensitivity, low cost and ease, and at the center of this technology has been a new enzymatic method for the synthesis of the analogues of the Luciferin, which is a substance that is making the fireflies glow.
According to the reports by a team of researchers, it can also be used in the field. The widespread use of the toxic Ops (organophosphate phosphate pesticides) has been very a serious global environmental and health problem.
The concerns have been acute, has been often very fatal that is poisoning the cases in the agriculture, which particularly in the developing countries and also the residues of the toxic pesticides that has been accumulating in the freshwater reservoirs and food chains where that might be sintigating Alzheimer’s, cancer and diabetes.
The researchers has been led by the Pimchai Chaiyen that is actually started with a new enzymatic cascade reaction for the synthesis of the Luciferin analogues from the phenolic compounds, which they are calling the HELP reaction.
This conventional detection by the large spectrometry has been a complex, along with the expensive and is not suitable for using in the poor countries and also in the remote areas, and the test kits have usually been not sensitive and are not reliable. A team from Japan and Thailand has now developed an inexpensive, along with the test that has been detecting the Ops directly in the biological and foods samples along with the high specificity and is extremely sensitive without the preparation of the sample.
Writing is a medium to express feelings and convey facts. A creative mind never rests in peace and this amazing platform gives me the freedom to write about what I like most.
I’ve been a writer/blogger for the last twelve years and have covered technology-related topics. However, I also have considerable years of experience in writing for various domains – Technology, Beauty, Fashion, Pharmaceutical, human psychology etc. Technology is my forte.
I’ve handled many interesting projects. Writing is my passion. As an author, I’ve learned a lot in my long journey of penning down my thoughts!
