Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play an important role in the detoxification of xenobiotics in mammals. They catalyze the conjugation of glutathione to a wide range of electrophilic compounds. Phenanthrene 9,10-oxide is a model substrate for GSTs, representing an important group of epoxide substrates. In the present study, combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of the conjugation...
