Isolation and characterization of membranes from Drosophila melanogaster.
As a prerequisite for examining the membranes of neurological mutants, we have undertaken to fractionate and characterize membranes derived from heads of adult and whole larvae of wild type Canton-S (C-S) Drosophila. Of particular interest to us are membrane fractions rich in putative brain membrane marker enzyme acetylcholinesterase.
