Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) were purified from Van Lake fish (Chalcalburnus tarichii Pallas) liver with 29.25 EU mg-1 specific activity and 10.76% yield using GSH-agarose affinity chromatographic method. The pesticides were tested at various concentrations on in vitro GST activity. Ki constants were calculated as 0.17 ± 0.01, 0.25 ± 0.05, 3.72 ± 0.32, 0.42 ± 0.06, and 0.025 ± 0.004 mM, for 2,4-D DMA, haloxyfop-P-methyl, glyphosate isopropylamine, dichlorvos, and λ-cyhalothrin, respectively.
