Structure of Acetylcholine [PDF]

open access: possibleNature, 1971
IN a recent letter, Chothia and Pauling1 comment on our paper dealing with the determinants of specificity at cholinergic synapses2. They correctly point out that we do not define the conformation of acetylcholine which is responsible for its action at nicotinic sites.

Acetylcholine and memory

Trends in Neurosciences, 1993
Acetylcholine may set the dynamics of cortical networks to those appropriate for learning of new information, while decreased cholinergic modulation may set the appropriate dynamics for recall. In slice preparations of the olfactory cortex, acetylcholine selectively suppresses intrinsic but not afferent fiber synaptic transmission, while decreasing the

The conformation of acetylcholine

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1962
Abstract The infrared absorption of the carbonyl peak of acetylcholine exhibits a shift toward the higher energy. 2-Dimethylamino ethyl acetate, 3-dimethylaminopropyl acetate, 4-dimethylaminobutyl acetate show the expected absorption spectra for the carbonyl peak in that they are precisely like ethyl acetate.

Acetylcholine and Delirium

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 1999
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine has been implicated in animal and human studies of delirium. This chapter will briefly review the clinical studies focussing on measurement of serum levels of anticholinergic activity in delirious states. Three approaches have been taken.
