Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of multifunctional enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and reactive endogenous compounds. The interest in plant GSTs may be attributed to their agronomic value, since it has been demonstrated that glutathione conjugation for a variety of herbicides is the major resistance and selectivity factor in plants. The structure of the Arabidopsis thaliana isoenzyme, the first plant GST whose structure has been solved, may serve as a model system for the understanding of herbicide selectivity in crops.
谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GSTs）是一类多功能酶，参与外源性物质和内源性活性化合物的代谢。对植物GSTs的关注可能归因于它们的农学价值，因为已经证明，植物中多种除草剂的谷胱甘肽结合是主要的抗性和选择性因素。拟南芥同工酶是第一个其结构已被解析的植物GST，其结构可作为理解作物除草剂选择性的模型系统。
