    The right answer is nucleotide biosynthesis.

    Favism or deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, or deficiency of G6PD, is the most widespread enzymatic deficiency in the world. Of genetic origin, it is characterized by a destruction of the red blood cells (hemolysis) during the ingestion of beans or the taking of certain drugs (especially synthesized antimalarials).

    The enzyme Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway that produces riboses that are part of the nucleotide composition.
