title: Molecular architecture of the nerve terminal.
abstract: The synaptic vesicle has been the focus of recent efforts to generate a molecular description of the nerve terminal. The function and molecular composition of the synaptic vesicle are well characterized, due in part to its relative simplicity. Recent work identifies specific proteins involved in some of the functions of the synaptic vesicle and their mechanism of action.
