Which is the preferred function annotation?

TiroTheta9_59, hydrolase, 274 537 e-153
Sabertooth_60, esterase, 274 537 e-153
Melvin_MELVIN_62, hydrolase/esterase, 274 537 e-153

Hi Roy,
What a great question! Do you have HHPred or BLAST results that support the intact catalytic domain of an esterase? If so, go with esterase. Otherwise, more general might be better.

Thanks!

Welkin,

Here's my top hit on HHpred. I'm thinking the answer is yes, but I'm not sure how to interpret HHpred results in detail.

>1zoi_A Esterase; alpha/beta hydrolase fold; 1.60A {Pseudomonas putida} SCOP: c.69.1.12 PDB: 4dgq _A
Probab=100.00 E-value=2.3e-38 Score=242.53 Aligned_cols=255 Identities=24% Similarity=0.255 Sum_probs=0.0
