Esterases are hydrolases that contribute to the hydrolysis of ester bonds into both water-
soluble acyl esters and emulsified glycerol-esters containing short-chain acyl groups. They …

Esterases are hydrolase-class enzymes involved in cleavage catalysis and ester-bond
formation. Esterases are part of inter-esterification, intra-esterification, and responses to …

The marine ecosystem has been known to be a significant source of novel enzymes.
Esterase enzymes (EC 3.1. 1.1) represent a diverse group of hydrolases that catalyze the …

We have isolated putative esterase genes from various bacterial chromosomes. Thirty open
reading frames predicted to encode esterases were randomly selected from 13 sequenced …

Esterase enzymes are a family of hydrolases that catalyze the breakdown and formation of
ester bonds. Esterases have gained a prominent position in today's world's industrial …

Enzymes were known to mankind since the late 17 th century where the digestion of meat in
humans was thought to occur using stomach secretions. The term enzyme [in Greek …

Abstract Esterases (EC 3.1. 1. x) represent a diverse group of hydrolases catalyzing the
cleavage and formation of ester bonds and are widely distributed in animals, plants and …

This study conducted an in silico analysis of two biochemically characterized thermostable
esterases, Est2 and Est3, from Geobacillus strains. To achieve this, the amino acid …

Bacterial esterases are potential biocatalysts for the production of optically pure compounds.
However, the substrate promiscuity and chiral selectivity of esterases usually have a …

Functional metagenomic screening strategies, which are independent of known sequence
information, can lead to the identification of truly novel genes and enzymes. Since E. coli has …
