Abstract excerpt

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a unique enzyme with many genetic variants. Recent progress in molecular biological techniques have provided several important findings about the structure-function relationship of human G6PD. A putative substrate glucose-6-phosphate binding (around Lys...
