3I69, 3I6A - PubMed Abstract: 
The specificity of human glutathione transferase (GST) A1-1 is drastically altered to favor alkenal substrates in the GIMFhelix mutant designed to mimic first-sphere interactions utilized by GSTA4-4. This redesign serves as a model for improving our understanding of the structural determinants that contribute to the distinct specificities of alpha class GSTs ...
