Thank you for submitting your manuscript for consideration by The EMBO Journal and my apologies for the unusually long duration of the review period in this case. Your study has now been seen by two referees whose comments are shown below. As you will see, while the referees do express interest in the work and topic in principle, they do not offer strong support for publication in The EMBO Jour...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is a common enzyme deficiency in the world. it's prevalence iniranis about 12% in male & about 1% in female. the present study did examine the relation between the development of preeclampsia and g6pd deficiency. it was investigated whether or not the risk of preeclampsia in g6pd deficient women is higher than that in normal pregnant women. a ...

The present study did examine the relation between the development of preeclampsia and G6PD deficiency. It was investigated whether or not the risk of preeclampsia in G6PD deficient women is higher than that in normal pregnant women.A t...

Background: Jaundice is affecting over 60-80 percent of neonates in the first week of life. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is an important cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, can lead to hemolytic anemia, jaundice and kernicterus. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among icteric neonates in Shirvan, Iran. Methods: This...

Chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia has been observed in a recently described glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variant, G6PDWayne. The mechanical properties of these erythrocytes and other G6PD variants were examined. The deformability of G6PD-deficient erythrocytes was normal, as determined by osmotic scan ektacytometry, and was not significantly affected by hemolytic crisis. In th...

We have developed a rapid and simple method to diagnose the molecular defects of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Chinese in Taiwan. This method involves the selective amplification of a DNA fragment from human G6PD gene with specific oligonucleotide primers followed by digestion with restriction enzymes that recognize artificially created or naturally occurring restrictio...

LETTER TO ETITOR G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) enzyme deficiency is the most common inherited enzyme deficiency so far reported. 1 This enzyme deficiency affects 400 million people worldwide. 2 Most cases of the disease are from tropical regions of Africa, the Middle East, tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and the Mediterranean margin, arise from the process of natural selecti...

The activity and expression levels of alcohol dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and non-specific soluble esterase were compared in the seven species (C. lyoni, Hersilia sp. Oxyopes sp., Menemerus bivittatus, Leucauge decorata, Selenops sp. and Cyrtophora citricola) from the semi-arid habitat of Agra region. Three predominant non-specific esterases loci (Est1, Est2 and Est3) were ...

To investigate the features of erythrocyte metabolism in extremely immature infants, we assayed 21 enzyme activities and glutathione level in cord erythrocytes from 28 extremely low-birth-weight infants (ELBWI; defined as birth weight <1,000 g). The results were compared with those from normal adults and non-neonatal reticulocyte-rich controls. Statistical analysis revealed that activities of s...

In this study, phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose-4-phosphate are efficiently supplied by collaborative design of Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway pentose phosphate (PP) in Escherichia coli, thus increasing the L-tryptophan production. Firstly, effects disrupting EMP on production were studied, results indicated that strain with deletion phosphofructokinase A (i.e., E. coli JW-5 ΔpfkA) produ...
