5'-nucleotidases, nucleosides and their distribution in the brain: pathological and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Elements of the nucleoside system (nucleoside levels, 5'-nucleotidases (5'NTs) and other nucleoside metabolic enzymes, nucleoside transporters and nucleoside receptors) are unevenly distributed in the brain, suggesting that nucleosides have region ...

Emerging Role of Purine Metabolizing Enzymes in Brain Function and Tumors [PDF]
The growing evidence of the involvement of purine compounds in signaling, of nucleotide imbalance in tumorigenesis, the discovery of purinosome and its regulation, cast new light on purine metabolism, indicating that well known biochemical pathways may ...

Immunization with purine salvation pathway recombinant enzymes induces the production of anti- Schistosoma mansoni immunoglobulines [PDF]
Schistosomiasis, a disease caused by the trematodes of the Schistosoma genus, affects about 240 million people worldwide. The Praziquantel (PZQ) is the drug used to treat this disease. However, reports of resistant strains reinforce the need to develop a

Isolation of Nucleoside Metabolizing Enzymes from Alaska Pea Seeds (Pisum sativum L. cultivar Alaska) [PDF]
The activities of number of metabolizing enzymes were determined from dry Alaska Pea Seeds (Pisum sativum L. cultivar Alaska). Then tested for presence of three groups of enzymes; nucleosidase, deaminases and phosphorylases. The highest activity of the

Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase variant associated with accelerated purine synthesis.
We have previously described a 14-yr-old boy with hyperuricemia, renal failure, and accelerated purine production resistant in vivo and in vitro to purine analogs.

CHARACTERIZATION OF ADENOSINE NUCLEOSIDASE FROM SOYBEAN SEEDS (Glycine max L.) [PDF]
The nucleoside salvage pathway plays a key role in the growth and development of plants. The activities of several enzymes of the nucleoside salvage pathway were determined in germinated soybean seeds.

Structural and functional studies of enzymes in nucleotide metabolism [PDF]
Enzymes in nucleotide metabolism serve as the producers of the building blocks for DNA and RNA. From a medical perspective, nucleotide metabolism, and in particular salvage pathway enzymes, have attracted special interest, as nucleoside prodrugs given in
