High impact information on alpha-Est2

Several studies have suggested that esterase-2 (EST-2) may be the target of natural selection in the cactophilic fly Drosophila buzzatii [1].
The kinetic characteristics of the main isozymes of Drosophila virilis esterase were studied and Km values of esterase-2, -4, and -6 and p-esterase for alpha- and beta-naphthyl acetate were obtained [2].
