Abstract
Studies at 100 MHz of the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by brain membrane-bound acetylcholinesterase show that the N-methyl resonance acquires a doublet character as the hydrolysis proceeds. These results provide a simple explanation for the time-dependent NMR line broadening observed earlier for the interaction of acetylcholine with purified acetylcholinesterase.
