Abstract excerpt
The homologous human glutathione transferases (GSTs) M1-1 and M2-2 have similar catalytic activities with many electrophilic substrates, but differ strikingly in their conjugation of epoxides with glutathione. Residue 210, Thr in GST M2-2 and Ser in GST M1-1, is a key active-site component in determining the activity profile with epoxide substrates. This residue is hypervariable in Mu class GSTs, suggesting that...
