Alignment of synaptic vesicle macromolecules with the macromolecules in active zone material that direct vesicle docking.
Synaptic vesicles dock at active zones on the presynaptic plasma membrane of a neuron's axon terminals as a precondition for fusing with the membrane and releasing their neurotransmitter to mediate synaptic impulse transmission. Typically, docked vesicles are next to aggregates of plasma membra...
