Targeting purine metabolism in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2022 Purine, an abundant substrate in organisms, is a critical raw material for cell proliferation and an important factor for immune regulation. The purine de novo pathway and salvage pathway are tightly regulated by multiple enzymes, and dysfunction in ...

Purine Metabolism in Friedreich's Ataxia [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1978 SUMMARY:In a detailed investigation of nucleotide synthesis, intercom'ersion and degradation, no difference was found between subjects with Friedreich's Ataxia and normal controls. It appears improbable that this disorder is related to a primary defect in purine metabolism.

Purine Metabolism in Toxoplasma gondii
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989 We have studied the incorporation and interconversion of purines into nucleotides by freshly isolated Toxoplasma gondii. They did not synthesize nucleotides from formate, glycine, or serine. The purine bases hypoxanthine, xanthine, guanine, and adenine were incorporated at 9.2, 6.2, 5.1, and 4.3 pmol/10(7) cells/h, respectively.
