By specific enzymic synthesis of the substrate 6-phosphogluconolactone "in situ", the Km for bass liver 6-phosphogluconolactonase was found to be 90 microM. This value is compatible with the kinetic parameters of both glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from bass liver, and hence with the flux through the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway.
