-Human acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) is an enzyme which inhibits the function acetylcholine by way of a rapid hydrolysis.  It is classified as a toxin and has been linked to things such as snake venom and has been used in the the development of treatment for Alzheimer's disease. This specific enzyme has 3 active binding sites and 6 mutations.  Each of which either causing a loss of activity or a misfolding.
