Abstract

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is widely distributed in nature throughout both the animal and plant kingdoms. The enzyme first discovered in 1931 by Warburg and Chrisitian, and named as the "Zwischenferment". The discovery of this enzyme caused the coenzyme, nicotinamide adenin dinucleotide phosphate to be known.
