title: Concerning the anchoring of acetylcholinesterase in biomembranes.
abstract: Highly purified acetylcholinesterases from various sources do not contain hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, indicating the absence of a collagenlike 'tail'. The enzymes examined are therefore bound to the membrane in a different way compared with acetylcholinesterase isolated from electric organ.
