摘要
Four negative charges at the entrance of a deep pocket, lined with aromatic residues are the features of a synthetic receptor which shows high affinity for acetylcholine (see picture) and choline in water. The size, shape, and charge recognition elements featured in the natural enzyme acetylcholinesterase are reproduced by the synthetic receptor.
