โฆ Synopsis
Several significant advances in the understanding of the catalytic mechanisms, structures and evolution of glutathione transferases have occurred in the past year. These advances include new mechanistic information concerning the canonical soluble enzymes, the finding that the fosfomycin-specific enzyme, FosA, is a metalloglutathione transferase and a higher resolution projection structure of the microsomal enzyme.

In fish, glutathione S-transferases are very important in the detoxification of water-borne pollutants. Carp, which often live and thrive under extreme conditions of water pollution, have been recommended by the European Community as an ideal species to test for the effect of various chemical substa
The in vitro interaction of the mycotoxin penicillic acid (PA) with rat liver glutathione S-transferase (GST) was studied using reduced glutathione and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrates. The inhibition of the GST activity by PA in crude extracts was dose dependent. Each of the different GST
