A one-step cobalt-ferrocyanide method for histochemical demonstration of acetylcholinesterase activity in central nervous system tissue.
We introduce a one-step histochemical method with cobalt as the precipitating agent for ferrocyanide for the light microscopic demonstration of acetylcholinesterase activity. This method was used to demonstrate acetylcholinesterase in normal cortical fibers and neurons, as well as pathological elements such as plaques and tangles. This procedure can also be easily combined with immunohistochemi...
متن کاملHistochemical method for characterization of enzyme crystals: application to crystals of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase.
Histochemical methods are employed to detect and localize a wide range of enzymes. Even though protein crystallographers do not commonly use this technique, the extensively used colorimetric reaction of Karnovsky was successfully adapted for easy and quick identification of acetylcholinesterase crystals. The method relies on the reduction of ferricyanide to ferrocyanide by thiocholine, released...
متن کاملSensitive detection of organophosphorus pesticides using a needle type amperometric acetylcholinesterase-based bioelectrode. Thiocholine electrochemistry and immobilised enzyme inhibition.
An acetylcholinesterase (AChE) based amperometric bioelectrode for a selective detection of low concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides has been developed. The amperometric needle type bioelectrode consists of a bare cavity in a PTFE isolated Pt-Ir wire, where the AChE was entrapped into a photopolymerised polymer of polyvinyl alcohol bearing styrylpyridinium groups (PVA-SbQ). Cyclic volt...
متن کاملLong route or shortcut? A molecular dynamics study of traffic of thiocholine within the active-site gorge of acetylcholinesterase.
The principal role of acetylcholinesterase is termination of nerve impulse transmission at cholinergic synapses, by rapid hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to acetate and choline. Its active site is buried at the bottom of a deep and narrow gorge, at the rim of which is found a second anionic site, the peripheral anionic site. The fact that the active site is so deeply buried has...
متن کاملFine Structural Localization of Acetylcholinesterase in Electroplaque of the Electric Eel
The electroplaques composing the electric organ of the eel, Electrophorus electricus, have been utilized for the dual purpose of demonstrating the subcellular sites of acetylcholinesterase activity and as a model for comparison of the several cytochemical methods available. Fresh tissue and tissue fixed by immersion in formalin, hydroxyadipaldehyde, or glutaraldehyde was reacted with the Cu-thi...
