Abstract :
The lipid, protein, acetylcholine and ATP content of cholinergic synaptic vesicles isolated from the richly innervated electric organ of Torpedo marmorata and purified to constant composition has been determined. The number of vesicles present in the preparations has been estimated by quantitative electron microscopy and the mean composition of the vesicle deduced. The acetylcholine content of the purest preparations was considerably greater than that previously attained and reached a mean of 6.10 mmole/g of protein and 2.6 X 10(5) molecules/vesicle; the mean values, for all determinations, were 4.1 +/- S.E.M. 0.6 and 2.6 X 10(5) +/- S.E.M. 0.6 X 10(5) respectively. |
