We recently identified AG1, a small-molecule activator that functions by promoting oligomerization of glucose-6-phosphatedehydrogenase (G6PD) to the catalytically competent forms. Biochemical experiments indicate that the activation of G6PD by the original hit molecule (AG1) is noncovalent and that one C2 -symmetric region of the G6PD homodimer is important for ligand function. Consequently, the disulfide
