Rat liver and house fly, Musca domestica L., glutathione S-transferases were purified by affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing. The specific activity with alpha-naphthyl acetate (a substrate, for general esterase activity) was determined. Some of the esterase activity that is normally assayed for resistance is apparently caused by the activity of the glutathione S-transferase.
