(19) HPLC tracing of radiolabelled purines or purine nucleosides revealed that adenine, adenosine and hypoxanthine are incorporated into adenine nucleotides and IMP through a similar channel while guanine and guanosine are salvaged into guanine nucleotides via another route.
(20) Among the four purine bases, adenine and hypoxanthine have been reported to be more uricogenic than guanine and xanthine.
Nitrogenous
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, nitrogen; as, a nitrogenous principle; nitrogenous compounds.
Example Sentences:
