Abstract excerpt
Theta class glutathione transferases (GST) from various species exhibit markedly different catalytic activities in conjugating the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) to a variety of electrophilic substrates. For example, the human theta 1-1 enzyme (hGSTT1-1) is 440-fold less efficient than the rat theta 2-2 enzyme (rGSTT2-2) with the fluorogenic substrate 7-amino-4-chloromethyl coumarin (CMAC). Large libraries of...
