Plants can fully catabolize purine nucleotides. A firmly established central intermediate is the purine base xanthine. In the current widely accepted model of plant purine nucleotide catabolism, ...

The metabolism of nucleotides in plants is a fundamental process underpinning growth, development and adaptive responses to environmental cues. Central to these processes are the de novo synthesis and ...

This image illustrates the chemical structure of a purine molecule, highlighting the numbering of the carbon and nitrogen atoms. The purine structure consists of a pyrimidine ring (positions 1 to 6) ...

Thanks to the absorption of oxalurate in the UV region, which is higher than that of the other metabolites involved in the reaction, the transamination kinetics were monitored spectrophotometrically.

Purines are heterocyclic bases. Simply put, these are closed ring structures comprised of at least two different kinds of atoms. Purines are one of three components of nucleotides; phosphate esters of ...

Nucleotides are essential to all life on Earth as they form the building blocks of DNA or RNA, and understanding how they were first made is a long-standing challenge that must be resolved to ...

So far as is known today, uric acid serves no biochemical function in the body other than being an end product of purine metabolism. The metabolically important purines, adenine and guanine, serve as ...

If you ate too much on Thanksgiving, I might be the cause of the pain in your feet. What molecule am I? Uric acid is a purine derivative and an oxidative metabolic product of purine nucleotides in ...
