Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...

The chromate reductase purified from Pseudomonas ambigua was found to be homologous with several nitroreductases. Escherichia coli DH5alpha and Vibrio harveyi KCTC 2720 nitroreductases were chosen for the present study, and their chromate-reducing activities were determined. A fusion between glutathione S-transferase (GST) and E. coli DH5alpha NfsA (GST-EcNfsA), a fusion between GST and E. coli...

expression of htlv-i p19 protein in an escherichia coli expression system always leads to the formation of inclusion body. solubilisation and refolding of the inclusion bodies is complex, time consuming and difficult during large-scale preparation. this study aimed to express and purify a soluble form of recombinant htlv-i p19 protein in an e. coli expression system. the synthetic dna encoding ...

hydatid disease is a term used to refer infection with the methacestode of echinococcus granulosus parasite in humans, and echinococcusis is restricted to infection with the adult stage in carnivores.glutathione s-transferase (gst) represents the major class of detoxification enzymes from helminth parasites such as echinococcus protoscoleces (psc) and it is candidate for chemotherapeutic and va...
