Purine and Pyrimidine Catabolism Pathway - Nucleotide Breakdown - Biochemistry Lesson

Lesson on the purine and pyrimidine degradation pathway, the critical enzymes involved in the pathway (xanthine oxidase) and what the body does with the products of pyrimidine catabolism (beta alanine and beta aminoisobutyrate) and purine catabolism (uric acid).
In this lesson, I describe each step of purine destruction to uric acid, explaining each explaining why accumulation of uric acid can cause disease and what treatments are possible to treat high levels of uric acid and gout. I also discuss the purine salvage pathway, the role of the HGPRT enzyme in the pathway and briefly describe the genetic condition associated with deficiency in the HGPRT enzyme (Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome).
Sincerely,
JJ

Hi , thank you for the video

[@stephenleighton4050]

Question..... can anyone explain it give clarity on the following ... does any change to typical Purine & Pyrimidine, folate, B6 or B12 pathways during pre or early post natal periods , result in heritable genetics that could be passed from that baby should they procreate in later life?

[@TurboRonin83]

What would happen if we blocked both the xanthine oxidase and the guanine pathways to uric acid?

[@bushraothman671]

Thank you 😍
