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).

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
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

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
The 26-kDa glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum (Sj26GST), a helminth worm that causes schistosomiasis, catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with toxic secondary products of membrane lipid peroxidation. Crystal structures of Sj26GST in complex with glutathione sulfonate (Sj26GSTSLF), S-hexyl glutathione (Sj26GSTHEX)
