3. Catalysis by theta-class glutathione transferases : Substrate binding, product formation and product release
Abstract : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are detoxication enzymes that catalyze theconjugation of glutathione to a large number of electrophilic molecules. In this waythey help to rid cells of potentially toxic substances. This thesis deals with thecatalysis afforded by Theta-class glutathione transferases. READ MORE
