Structural highlights
2wrt is a 12 chain structure with sequence from Fasciola hepatica. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[GST26_FASHE] Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. GST isoenzymes appear to play a central role in the parasite detoxification system. Other functions are also suspected including a role in increasing the solubility of haematin in the parasite gut.
