Detection and characterization of esterase isozyme by disc gel electrophoresis using inhibitors

The non-specific esterases include different types of esterases,, acetyl, aryl, carboxyl and cholin esterases. These forms are identified on the basis of their differential activity towards various inorganic inhibitors (Holmes and Master, 1968 ; Dickinson and Johnson, 1978). Similarly isozymes of a type of esterase are detected by the differences in their molecular weight, as shown by their relative mobilities in disc gel electrophoresi
