Abstract
Hymenolepis diminuta contains an enzyme hydrolyzing acetylcholine at a high rate. It appears to be specific for this substrate by criteria used in previous studies on other organisms. Most of the activity is in a participate fraction. Acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited by atropine sulfate and eserine sulfate but was not inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
