Comments P.843 left column bottom paragraph: "One of the unexpected outcomes of [investigators'] quantitative analysis is the high surface density of the R-SNARE synaptobrevin, which outnumbers synaptophysin and synaptotagmin by a factor of three or more (Table 2). Since the fully assembled core complex has a length of 12 nm, a separation of less than 20 nm is probably required for the initiation of SNARE trans-complexes."
