Application

Ligand useful for affinity chromatography of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-Hexylglutathione may be used as an affinity chromatography ligand of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. S-Hexylglutathione is also used as an inhibitor to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as mitochondrial membrane-bound glutathione transferase(s) (mtMGST1).

Solvent-induced equilibrium unfolding of a homodimeric class sigma glutathione transferase (GSTS1-1, EC 2.5.1.18) was characterized by tryptophan fluorescence, anisotropy, enzyme activity, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) binding, and circular dichroism. Urea induces a triphasic unfolding transition with evidence for two well-populated thermodynamically stable

Contractions of guinea-pig tracheal preparations to cysteinyl-leukotrienes (LTC(4), LTD(4) and LTE(4)) were characterized in organ baths, and cysteinyl-leukotriene metabolism was studied using radiolabelled agonists and RP-HPLC separation. In the presence of S-hexyl GSH (100 microM) the metabolism of [(3)H]-LTC(4) into

Helix-helix parallel interfaces can be characterized by certain combinations of amino acids, which repeatedly occur at core positions a and d (leucine zipper nomenclature) in homologous and nonhomologous proteins and influence interhelical angles. Applied for the prediction of interhelical angles

Plasmodium falciparum parasites are increasingly drug-resistant, requiring the search for novel antimalarials with distinct modes of action. Enzymes in the glutathione pathway, including glutathione S-transferase (GST), show promise as novel antimalarial targets. This study aims to better understand the biological

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), a major family of detoxifying enzymes, play a pivotal role in insecticide resistance in insects. In the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, insect-specific epsilon class GSTs are associated with resistance to the organochlorine insecticide DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane].
