[Inheritance of the enzyme, esterase D]
Abstract:
The author examined 40 families with 48 children and did not find deviation of the generally accepted hypothesis about codominant allel inheritance of the enzyme esterase D. He made calculations of the observed and expected values and frequency of the distribution of the phenotypes by means of the Hi square criterion. The differences were insignificant (p > 0,05). He examined the phenotypes of the enzyme esterase D in 470 mothers and 477 newborns. he obtained substantial inferences just as in the examined families. Gene frequencies in the families and in mothers with children were compared with those of the adult Bulgarian population--1660 individuals. The differences were insignificant.

Introduction to Enzymes
Most enzymes are proteins that speed up biochemical reactions without being consumed. Enzymes contain one or more active sites that bind the substrates and convert them into products. Many enzymes also...
Esters to Carboxylic Acids: Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis
During hydrolysis, the ester is first activated towards nucleophilic attack through the protonation of the carboxyl oxygen atom by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the ester carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. In the next step, water acts as a nucleophile and adds to the...
