Answer 1

7) Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) catalyzes the transformation of the active neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into the inactive compounds choline (Ch) and acetic acid. The enzyme is a serine protease that contains catalytic triad of three amino acids: serine 200, histidine 440 and glutamate 327 (has glutamate rather than aspartate)
