Abstract excerpt

The inhibition of arylesterase (EC 3.1.8.1) by 11 aliphatic alcohols (one to seven carbon atoms) was studied in blood serum from healthy donors. Inhibition curves were described by the Hill equation, with a Hill coefficient (n) close to unity, except for some alcohols, mainly the lowest. The inhi...
