1. Through the improvement of Michael's method to determine CHE activity, it became clear that non-enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholin in the incubation medium depends on pHi and pHf, and enzymatic hydrolysis depends on pHi. 2. Using corrections b and i, stable and precise values of CHE activity has been able to gained. Calculated corrections b and i are shown, former as correction of non-enzymatic hydrolysis, latter as one of enzymatic hydrolysis. 3. Titration of incubation medium with acetic acid brings us comparable values between the units of△pH/hr. and μ mole/ml/hr. or min.
