Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes that involved in bio- transformation by conjugation of electrophillic compounds to glutathione. Polymorphisms within genes that encode GSTs may affect the function of the enzymes. Polymorphisms of GSTP1 at codon 105 residue forms GSTP1 active site for binding of hydrophobic electrophiles, and the Ile-Val substitution affect substrate specific catalytic activity of...
