Identifier Name Description
GO:0003824 catalytic activity Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic.
GO:0016787 hydrolase activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3.
GO:0016788 hydrolase activity, acting on ester bonds Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond.
GO:0052689 carboxylic ester hydrolase activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a carboxylic ester bond.
GO:0003674 molecular_function Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions.
GO:0003990 acetylcholinesterase activity Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.
GO:0004104 cholinesterase activity Catalysis of the reaction: an acylcholine + H2O = choline + a carboxylic acid anion.
