Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity and the
affinity for its substrate glucose-6-phosphate were investigated
under conditions similar to the physiological environment in
terms of ionic strength (I: 0.188), cation concentration, pH
7.34, and temperature (37oC). A 12.4, 10.4 and 21.4% decrease
was observed in G6PD B, G6PD A+ and G6PD A- activities,
