A reference page from Wikipedia explains
"An esterase is a hydrolase enzyme that splits esters into an acid and an alcohol in a chemical reaction with water, called hydrolysis. There are different esterases with a varied substrate specificity, protein function and biological function."
Example sentence:

"Synthesis of new derivatized pyrazole based ligands and their catecholase activity studies - a synthesis of 3 new tripodal ligands is reported, generated copper complexes from 3 compounds with catalytic activities." Reactions depend on ligand and copper.

"Aliphatic amino acid esters are acylating agents, although very slowly reacting. Their activity is increased by electron-attracting substituents in the ester component."
