esterification

It also required the discovery of different enzymes involved in esterification of glucose and polysaccharides and then their purification in order to experiment with the different steps in their in vitro studies.

Reactions leading to esterification were particularly difficult to identify, because these processes take place at different levels of glycolysis.

This enzyme rapidly increased the formation of lactic acid and esterification of hexosediphosphate in muscle extracts.

Embden believed that the appearance of hexosediphosphate was related to his lactocidogen, while Meyerhof proposed early on that all glucose must go through esterification leading to formation of phosphates.

After the fatty acids move across the cell membrane into or out of the cell, the fatty acids are then reattached in a process called esterification.

Alcohols undergo characteristic reactions such as esterification.

Natural Kinds Bird, Alexander 2008

Free acids, as a rule, are only tolerated in certain parts of the organism, the latter usually striving to neutralise acidic groups which may be brought about by salt formation; formation of amino compounds (proteins) or esterification (fats); and, lastly, esterformation by means of sugars.

Thus with the direct ester reactions the normal fibrous cellulose (C_ {6} H_ {16} O_ {5}) yields a monoacetate, dibenzoate, and a trinitrate respectively under conditions which determine, with the simple hexoses and anhydrides, the maximum esterification, i.e. all the OH groups reacting.

One striking general conclusion is, however, established, and that is that the structural properties of cellulose are but little affected by esterification and appear therefore to be a function of the special arrangement of the carbon atoms, i.e. of the molecular constitution.

Especially interesting appears the fact of plants utilising sugars for the esterification of acids, just as glycerol or monohydric alcohols may be employed for the same purpose.
