Acetylcholine

Assemble a molecular model of Acetylcholine out of Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter with a chemical structure that consists of choline, a quaternary ammonium cation & an acetyl functional group. Acetylcholine is probably the first neurotransmitter students encounter when they take biology since it is ubiquitous in organisms from humans on down to insects. As a neurotransmitter, it acts as a chemical messenger between nerve cells and muscles is key to physiological processes such as muscle contraction and regulation of autonomic functions.

A molecular model of Acetylcholine in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
