Abstract
THE enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) exists in several different forms (isoenzymes) in the human erythrocyte, each apparently determined by a different allele at a single locus on the X chromosome. The structural differences between the isoenzymes lead to different enzymatic activities and often render them separable by gel electrophoresis.
