-Like in the AChE structure, BChE active site is located at the bottom of a ca. 20A deep gorge. The <scene name='39/399020/Cv/4'>active site of BChE</scene> is similar to that of AChE. <ref>PMID:12869558</ref> The differences are noticed in the lining of the gorge were some of the aromatic residues in AChE are substituted by hydrophobic ones and in the active site acyl-binding pocket where 2 Phe residues are replaced by Leu and Val in BChE.
