The biochemical properties of the Est-6F and Est-6S allozymes have been studied. The two allozymes have differences in their physical and kinetic properties that may be related to the natural distribution of these two variants. Est-6S is more thermostabile than Est-6F at temperatures above 40oC.

Gramoxone increases the frequency of the Est-6S allele and decreases the frequency of the Est-6F allele in the offspring of treated flies.
Electrophoretic mobility of Est-6S protein is less than that of Est-6F protein.
