A group of enzymes of broad specificity. R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group. Also catalyses the addition of aliphatic epoxides and arene oxides to glutathione, the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrile, certain isomerization reactions and disulfide interchange.

the mutation causes the preferential binding of glutathione to the H-site, the mutant shows a decrease in activity of about 50%, drastic increase in Km value for glutathione of 105fold, and 23fold lower catalytic efficiency compared to the wild type enzyme
mutant shows dramatic decrease in specific activity of about 98%, the double mutation exhibits loss of affinity for glutathione, a Km value 10-fold higher than in the wild type, and a 291fold decrease of the catalytic efficiency compared to the wild type enzyme

Cysteine 10 is critical for the activity of Ochrobactrum anthropi glutathione transferase and its mutation to alanine causes the preferential binding of glutathione to the H-site
