Abstract
The anionic and the neutral glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoenzymes from the freshwater worm Tubifex tubifex (O.F.M.) were separated in one step by chromato-focusing on a Polybuffer exchanger 94 column, eluted with Polybuffer 74. Their pI values ranged between 4.12 and 6.98, and their molecular weight between 30 000 and 38 400. The apparent Kmvalues towards glutathione and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene were also determined. The high number of non-cationic GST isoenzymes is unusual. Tubifex worms seems well equiped for attacking environmental pollutants.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
