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.

i.e. DDT, modeling of DDT into the putative DDT-binding pocket, catalytic mechanism of isozyme agGSTe2 that shows high activity through the inclination of the upper part of H4 helix, H4'' helix, which brings residues Arg112, Glu116, and Phe120 closer to the GSH-binding site resulting in a more efficient GS- stabilizing hydrogen-bond-network and higher DDT-binding affinity, overview
agGSTe2 has a long narrow cleft at the interface of the N- and C-domains, in which a GSH molecule tightly fits, binding of glutathione does not induce significant conformational changes in the isozyme agGSTe2 protein, structure, overview
