Abstract
Although the existence of a peripheral “anionic” site (PAS) on the surface of AChE has long been demonstrated, there was no direct evidence for a PAS on BuChE. However, structural similarities between the two enzymes and some kinetic complexities of BuChE suggested that the mouth of the BuChE active site gorge may possess PAS components.
