Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose 6-phosphate: NADP(+) oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49; G6PD) was purified from sheep erythrocytes, using a simple and rapid method. The purification consisted of three steps; preparation of haemolysate, ammonium sulphate fractionation and 2', 5'-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The enzyme was obtained with a yield of 37.1% and had a specific activity of 4.64 U/mg proteins. Optimal pH, stable pH, molecular weight, and K-M and V-max values for NADP(+) and glucose 6-phosphate (G6-P) substrates were also determined for the enzyme.
