E. Reiner et al., CLASSIFICATION AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF ESTERASES REACTING WITH ORGANOPHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS, Croatica chemica acta, 68(3), 1995, pp. 639-647
The classification, molecular structure and substrate specificity of s
erine esterases and phosphoric triester hydrolases is described. Human
serum cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) and paraoxonase (EC 3.1.8.1) are de
scribed in more detail. The clinical significance of these two esteras
es is also discussed.
