Structural and Functional Characterization of One Unclassified Glutathione S-Transferase in Xenobiotic Adaptation of <i>Leptinotarsa decemlineata</i>

Arthropod Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) constitute a large family of multifunctional enzymes that are mainly associated with xenobiotic or stress adaptation. GST-mediated xenobiotic adaptation takes place through direct metabolism or sequestration of xenobiotics, and/or indirectly by providing p...
