Abstract

The classification, molecular structure and substrate specificity of serine esterases and phosphoric triester hydrolases is described. Human serum cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) and paraoxonase (EC 3.1.8.1) are described in more detail. The clinical significance of these two esterases is also discussed.
