Aminohydrolases acting on adenine, adenosine and their derivatives.
BACKGROUND Adenine and adenosine-acting aminohydrolases are important groups of enzymes responsible for the metabolic salvage of purine compounds. Several subclasses of these enzymes have been described and given current knowledge of the full genome sequences of many organisms, it is possible to identify genes encoding these enzymes and group them according to their primary structure. METHODS...
متن کاملA Kinetic Comparison on the Inhibition of Adenosine Deaminase by Purine Drugs
The effects of allopurinol, acyclovir and theophylline on the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) were studied in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.5 at 27°C, using a UV– Vis spectrophotometer. Adenosine deaminase is inhibited by these ligands, via different types of inhibition. Allopurinol, as a transition state analog of xanthine oxidase, and acyclovir competitively inhibit the catalytic a...

متن کاملA role for adenosine deaminase in human monocyte maturation.
The occurrence of a deficiency of adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in some patients with severe combined immunodeficiency suggests a possible relationship between the activity of ADA and the aberration of the immune system. To help delineate the function of ADA in the immune response we have examined its role in monocyte maturation. When incubated in vitro, peripheral blood monocytes transfor...

a:4:{s:9:"Objective";s:402:"Uric acid (UA) is crucial for sperm metabolism; it protects seminal plasma against oxidative damage. Zinc, too, plays a central role in sperm metabolism. The current study was designed to investigate the role of zinc supplementation on the qualitative and quantitative properties of seminal fluid, in parallel with the UA level and urate pathway enzymes in the semen of...
