Draw the catalytic mechanism of acetylcholinesterase

Reference no: EM13160927

Acetylcholine is rapidly destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Like serine proteases contains Asp - His - Ser catalytic triad. Draw the catalytic mechanism of acetylcholinesterase. Explain why is the high efficiency of this enzyme is physiologically crucial.
