متن کاملDrug metabolizing enzymes of mussels as bioindicators of chemical pollution.
The GSTs of M. edulis provide an easily assayed activity which would be expected to respond to changes in pollution status. The main GST and a related GSH-binding protein have been purified and biochemically characterized. The former protein is most similar to the Pi class while the latter is a catalytically inactive monomer which appears to be related to the Mu class. This enzyme activity has ...
متن کاملA Review of on Environmental Pollution Bioindicators
Qualitative status of the environment is signaled by a group of indicators, known as bioindicators, several of which are responsible for showing progressive impacts of different types of pollutants. Having addressed the influence of various bioindicators in environmental pollution, it has been revealed that bioindicators are sensitive to any disturbance in any environment. With regards to the p...
