Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• The mechanism of acid catalysed esterification is similar to that outlined in Scheme 2 except that the process begins with protonation of a carbonyl oxygen atom.
• Cholesterol esterification is not essential for secretion of lipoprotein components by HepG2 cells.
• In preclinical studies this esterification is correlated to a prolonged local tissue binding and efficacy, which is not found when the esterification is inhibited by an esterification blocker.
• HG with a high degree of methyl esterification is referred to as "pectin" whereas HG with a low degree of methyl esterification is "pectic acid".
• Here, the degree of esterification is being measured for the dataset shown in Figure 3.
