Cleft

As you know, postsynaptic neuron is excited by the neurotransmitter released by the presynaptic neuron at synaptic cleft. The effect of this neurotransmitter is terminated by different ways. 1. It may be degraded by the enzyme (as you mentioned), thus preventing continous excitation ...

... something like this: a synaptic vesicle needs to fuse with the plasma membrane in order for the neurotransmitter to be released into the synaptic cleft. When the neuron is not firing, some vesicles are tethered to the plasma membrane(mainly through Rab proteins, but not only; some SNARE interactions ...

... to find out some gene alleles (variations of genes) you and your family share. Look up human mendelian traits that are physical features (like cleft chins, earlobe attachment, etc.), and see what features you do and do not share with family members, these show alleles you do or do not share. ...

... I don't really think it would make that much of a difference. The fact this(i think), there is already enough cholinesterase in the synaptic cleft to quickly degrade any molecules of acetylcholine that are not attached to the receptor. In an extreme cases, the cholinesterase would simply ...
