1ACJ shows the crystal structure of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase (TcAChE) complexed with tacrine.

Tacrine is a parasympathomimetic and a centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitor.

It was the first centrally-acting cholinesterase inhibitor approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Tacrine’s ring is stacked between the aromatic rings of tryptophan 84 and phenylalanine 330 .

Hemoglobin causes Net Diffusion of Oxygen
Oxygen diffuses freely across oxygen-permeable membranes, following the simple rule of equal pressure. By capturing oxygen, hemoglobin produces a change in the internal pressure of free oxygen, forcing the oxygen influx where it is needed.
