Abstract

The glutathione S-tranferase EC 2.5.1.18GST are multifunctional enzymes which are also involved in detoxication of xenobiotics. They catalyse the conjugation of glutathione GSH to various electrophiles. In this study the cationic form of GST was purified from the snail Achatina fulica using ion-exchange and affinity chromatography to apparent homogenity. Native PAGE confirmed the homogenity of the protein purified. From SDS-PAGE the molecular weight of the protein was 53 200 daltons. In immunoelectrophoresis experiments a single preciptin arc was observed towards the cathode. Amino acid analysis of the purified protein was also conducted
