Characterization of the complete uric acid degradation pathway in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Degradation of purines to uric acid is generally conserved among organisms, however, the end product of uric acid degradation varies from species to species depending on the presence of active catabolic enzymes. In humans, most higher primates and birds,

The Development of Reproducible and Selective Uric Acid Biosensor by Using Electrodeposited Polytyramine as Matrix Polymer

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2017
A versatile method for the construction of reproducible and high selective uric acid biosensor is explained. Electrodeposited polytyramine is used as biosensor matrixes due to its compatibility to immobilize enzyme uric oxidase in the membrane electrode.

Uric acid disrupts hypochlorous acid production and the bactericidal activity of HL-60 cells

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2018
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in humans and is an alternative physiological substrate for myeloperoxidase. Oxidation of uric acid by this enzyme generates uric acid free radical and urate hydroperoxide, a strong oxidant and ...

URIC ACID – HISTORY, PRESENT AND FUTURE [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Medical Journal, 2019
2,6,8-trioxypurine known as uric acid represents a heterocyclic derivative of purine, with a molecular weight of 158 Da. In contrast to primates and humans, in the other animals uric acid is further oxidized by the uricase enzyme (urate oxidase) to ...
