Abstract : Following reduction of the acetylcholine receptor in the electroplax with dithiothreitol, the quaternary ammonium compounds bromoacetylcholine bromide and the p-nitrophenyl ester of (p-carboxyphenyl) trimethylammonium iodide react near the active site probably with a sulfhydryl group. The covalently attached quaternary ammonium moieties additionally interact with the active site noncovalently to activate the receptor and cause depolarization of the cell.
