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.

LITERATURE
purified recombinant wild-type GST in complex with inhibitor S-hexylglutathione, 22°C, hanging drop vapour diffusion method, from 60 mM CaCl2, 30 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 8.4% PEG 400, 3.4 mg GST/ml, and 1.4 mM S-hexylglutathione, the reservoir solution contains 150 mM CaCl2, 75 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, and 21% PEG 400, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 2.4 A resolution
recombinant enzyme expressed in bacterial cells, hanging-drop vapour diffusion. X-ray intensity data to 2.8 A resolution are collected from an orthorhombic crystal form with unit-cell parameters a = 62.2, b = 88.3, c = 75.3 A
for the GST dimer, the secondary structure is stable between pH 5.0 and 8.0, decrease in pH below 5.0 or increase in pH above 8.0 results in denaturation of the enzyme as indicated by a significant loss in secondary structure, at pH 4.0 or below and pH 10.0 almost complete loss of secondary structure is observed, for the GST tetramer a sigmoidal dependence of the loss of secondary structure on the pH value is observed, between pH 10.0 and 6.0 no alteration is determined, decrease in pH below 6.0 results in loss of secondary structure, even at a pH as low as 3.0 only a partial loss of secondary structure of about 50% is observed
