The Characterization of the Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Agaricus bisporus and Its Potential Application in Reducing Purine Content in Beer [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Beer, the most popular alcoholic beverage, poses health risks for individuals with gout and hyperuricemia due to its high purine content. Herein, we identified a novel purine nucleoside phosphorylase (AbPNP) from the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus and

Partial Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase Deficiency Helps Determine Minimal Activity Required for Immune and Neurological Development [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Introduction: Complete or near complete absence of the purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) enzyme causes a profound T cell immunodeficiency and neurological abnormalities that are often lethal in infancy and early childhood.

Multistep loss of catalytic and ligand binding abilities of hexameric purine nucleoside phosphorylase [PDF]

Scientific Reports
It is commonly believed that enzymatic catalysis is such a complex process, that even a small change in any physicochemical property of the enzyme results in a complete loss of the catalytic and ligand-binding capacity of the molecule.

Cloning and expression of recombinant purine nucleoside phosphorylase in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase (PNP) is an enzyme involved in biosynthetic pathway of purine nucleosides. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase catalyzes the cleavage of the glycosidic bond of ribo- or deoxyribonucleosides to form the purine base and ...
