Aedesline, C6/36, was treated with tetranitromethane (TNM),
pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) andle.
The tyrosine-specific reagent TNM inactivated the enzyme-
hexylglutathione, glutathuonyl 2,4- dinitrobenzene (GSDNB)
andprotected against this inactivation. Binding affinity
forelectrophilic substrates of TNM-treated GS was significantly
greater than those of untreated enzyme. Thesethat tyrosine in
the glutathine binding site (G-site) andng site (H-site) may be
