Abstract

An affinity adsorption technique for the analysis of the binding
sites of acetylcholinesterase for small ligands is presented. By studying
the interaction of decamethonium and edrophonium the second
anionic binding site of decamethonium ds characterized as
having affinity for trimetyl-(p-aminophenyl)ammonium-CH- Sepharose
4B but not for trimethyl-(m-aminophenyl)ammonium-
CH-Sepharose 4B. The directional localization of a hydrophobic
binding area in the vicinity of the anionic subsite of the catalytic
site is tentatively defined.
