A 20-year old male suffering from malaria was treated with chloroquine and manifested as haemolytic anaemia. Provisional diagnosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6-PD) deficiency was made.

Questions
1-Which reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme G-6-PD)?

2-How does deficiency of G-6-PD produce haemolytic anaemia?

3-Name the pathway in which this reaction occurs
