Purine Metabolism: The series of biochemical processes involved in the synthesis, recycling, and degradation of purine nucleotides.

Leiden researchers have discovered an enzyme that helps bacteria feed on everyday plastics. This common enzyme could play a ...

Worried about protein and uric acid? Experts clarify the link. Purines, not all proteins, elevate uric acid. Red meat and ...

A study by the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) led by Marilene Demasi from the Butantan Institute (São Paulo, Brazil) presents a valuable new experimental model for investigating ...

Antimetabolites Antimetabolites are inhibitors of purine synthesis; they include the prodrug azathioprine, which is converted to its active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine. Thiopurine ...

The expeditious convergent synthesis of the potent human purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor DADMe-Immucillin-G (3) was achieved via the Mannich reaction. The Mannich chemistry of a series of ...

Furthermore, DDAP has been successfully used for real-time tracking the uptaking and degradation of albumin in ex vivo mouse kidney models for the first time. All these results clearly demonstrated ...

Synthesis of TiO 2 by the pechini method and photocatalytic degradation of methyl red Pollyana Caetano RibeiroI, *; Ana Cristina Figueiredo de Melo da Costa I; Ruth Herta Goldschmidt Aliaga Kiminami ...

The PGAM substrate 3PG is also utilized for serine synthesis, and decreased PGAM enzyme activity led to increased serine synthesis through accumulation of 3PG. Both newly synthesized and imported ...

Changes in Secondary Metabolism Upon P. sojae Infection Changes in secondary metabolism are mainly concentrated in pathways centered on benzoate degradation (Figure 6A), purine metabolism (Figure 6B) ...
