Abstract
The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-pbosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and transketolase were studied in cell-free extracts of normal and Plasmodium berghei-infected mouse erythrocytes and host cell-free P. berghei. All preparations had activity. The data presented clearly indicated that the enzyme activities found in the P. berghei extract were of parasitic origin. The presence of phosphoriboisomerase and ribulose phosphate-3-epimerase were indirectly demonstrated. The data supported the conclusion that the malaria parasite, P. berghei has an active pentose cycle.
