Introduction: Carboxylesterases play major roles in the hydrolysis of numerous
therapeutically active compounds. This is, in part, due to the prevalence of the ester moiety …

Carboxylesterases (CE) are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the detoxification of
xenobiotics. Many therapeutically useful drugs are metabolized by these proteins which …

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity has traditionally been monitored as a biomarker of
