Proceedings of the International Meeting on Cholinesterases, Fundamental and Applied Aspects (2nd) Held in Bled, Yugoslavia on 17-21 September 1983.

Abstract : This book shows the range and power of current studies of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The contributors provide an unparalleled account of our knowledge of this enzyme and of its organophosphate inhibitors. It represents most of the major current approaches in these fields and shows the new directions which they are taking. Contents include: Chemistry and Catalytic Activity of Cholinesterase; Multiple Molecular Forms of Acetylcholinesterase; Structure, Regulation and Molecular Genetics; Sub-Cellular Localization, Transport and Secretion of Cholinesterases; Biological Functions of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase, and Changes in Disease States; Anticholinesterases: Toxicology and Structure-Function Relationships of Inhibitors and Antidotes; Acetylcholinesterase and Neurotoxic Esterase: Mechanism of Delayed Neurotoxicity.
