General description

Peso molecular: 280 kDa
Punto isoeléctrico: 5,5
Coeficiente de extinción: E1% = 18,0 (280 nm)

La acetilcolinesterasa de Electrophorus electricus es un tetrámero compuesto de 4 subunidades iguales de 70 kDa cada una. Cada subunidad contiene un sitio activo. La enzima es una glucoproteína que contiene hexosaminas.

Application

Acetylcholinesterase from Electrophorus electricus (electric eel) has been used:
  • in acetylcholinesterase activity assay
  • to study its effects on Xenopus embryonic hippocampal cells
  • to study the effect of acetylcholine inhibitors on development and plasticity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) exhibits its activity against acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junctions and synaptic cleft of cholinergic neurons. It participates in the nitric oxide signaling pathway.
La principal enzima degradadora de la acetilcolina in vivo. Convierte la acetilcolina + H2o en colina + ácido acético.

Caution

For dilute solutions (<1 mg/ml), add 1 mg/ml BSA to stabilize. Solutions containing at least 1 mg protein/ml in dilute neutral phosphate buffer are stable at least 6 months refrigerated.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of acetylcholine to choline and acetate per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing Tris buffer salts

Analysis Note

The activity obtained using acetylcholine as substrate is 30-100 times that obtained with butyrylcholine, using acetylcholinesterase from electric eel.

Over the last decades, antifouling coatings containing biocidal compounds as active ingredients were used to prevent biofouling, and eco-friendly alternatives are needed. Previous research from our group showed that polymethoxylated chalcones and glycosylated flavones obtained by synthesis displayed antifouling activity

Here we show that chronic application of low concentrations (0.01-0.05 U/ml) or a single application of 1-5 U/ml acetylcholinesterase (AChE) promotes the extension of neuronal processes, synapse formation, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionate receptor (AMPAR) surface expression in both embryonic and postnatal hippocampal

Organophosphorus poisoning caused by some pesticides and nerve agents is a life-threating condition that must be swiftly addressed to avoid casualties. Despite the availability of medical countermeasures, the clinically available compounds lack a broad spectrum, are not effective towards all

Four mononuclear [(L-L)2 Ru(tatpp)]2+ and two dinuclear [(L-L)2 Ru(tatpp)Ru(L-L)2 ]4+ ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) containing the 9,11,20,22-tetraazatetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-l:2''',3'''-n]pentacene (tatpp) ligand were synthesized, in which L-L is a chelating diamine ligand such as 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me4 phen) or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline

A novel, integrated experimental and modeling framework was applied to an inhibition-based bi-enzyme (IBE) electrochemical biosensor to detect acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors that may trigger neurological diseases. The biosensor was fabricated by co-immobilizing AChE and tyrosinase (Tyr) on the gold working
