Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The steady-state kinetics of rat liver hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (β- d -glucose: NAD(P) + 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.47) using glucose 6-phosphate and NADP + as substrates is studied. NADPH has been found to inhibit the enzyme noncompetitively with respect to NADP +, and uncompetitively with respect to glucose 6-phosphate. At a given concentration of glucose 6-phosphate, the reaction follows the basic inhibition equation. This suggests the presence of the enzyme-NADP + -NADPH complex, and contrasts with the NADPH inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase which is competitive with respect to NADP +. An attempt was made to estimate the in vivo activities of the two enzymes in rat liver in the presence of NADPH at various NADPH/NADP + ratios. The results show that the two enzymes appear to be at about the same level of activity in normal rat liver where the coenzyme redox ratio is 110 and the glucose 6-phosphate concentration is 217 μM. Under the same conditions, but with 50 μM dehydroepiandrosterone, a potent inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, but not of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the latter enzyme is estimated to be 1.6-times as active as the former. Such differential effects of NADPH and steroids on the two enzymes may support our notion that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase may have advantages over glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ( d -glucose-6-phosphate: NADP + 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49) in steroid-metabolizing tissues (the activity of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is not, or less, affected by steroids or NADPH).
