Step 1
This conjugation reaction typically results in the formation of a more water-soluble metabolite, which can then be excreted from the cell. GSTs are also known to utilize GSH as a cofactor. Show moreā¦

what is the function and mechanism of glutathione transferases enzyme
Madhur L.
Which of the following is true? The four enzymes that are major points of regulation for the TCA cycle are the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; citrate synthase; isocitrate dehydrogenase, and the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Anaplerotic reactions remove intermediates of the TCA cycle for anabolic pathways. In the synthesis of adenosine monophosphate, ATP is used as a phosphoryl source. Inosine monophosphate is a nucleoside monophosphate with orotate as its base. Which of the following is true? During aminotransferase reactions, the function of the required enzyme cofactor is to add a methyl group to activate the alpha-ketoacid for amino group transfer. The enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) adds hypoxanthine or guanine salvaged bases to an activated ribose platform to form inosinate guanylate, respectively, during purine salvage. Folate is a cofactor that is present and necessary in all aminotransferase enzymes. In mammalian systems, nitrogen is fixed by the enzyme nitrogenase.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) catalyze the conjugation of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) to xenobiotic substrates for the purpose of detoxification at physiological pH 7.4. The reaction scheme and the structures of substrates are shown below. Which of the 20 amino acids would you predict most likely occur at the active site(s), and explain why? Figure: The reaction catalyzed by GST. Figure: The structure of GSH and the pKa values of the functional groups.
