¤Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an monomeric enzyme. Most often, AChE forms a tetramer and binds with a molecule, collagen Q, to connect to the membrane of the neuromuscular junction. [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11804574]]. From the <scene name='Sandbox11/Original_structure/3'>overall tertiary structure</scene>, it can be seen that there are 17 alpha helices and 14 beta strands. There are 2 beta sheets formed from 3 anti-parallel and 11 anti-parallel beta sheets, respectively(maybe highlight with green scene). | |||
