🗑
show "orange sand" or uric acid crystals passed from kidneys  
🗑
show Nitrogen containing base, carbohydrate (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate moiety  
🗑
show De novo synthesis or salvaged pathway  
🗑
show aspartate, glutamine, glycine  
🗑
What provides the Ribose for pyrine and pyrimidine pathways?   show
🗑
Is the salvage pathway more important for purines or pyrimidines?   show
🗑
What are three key roles for nucleotides in a living organism?   show
🗑
What is the limiting factor in purine or pyrimidine synthesis?   show
🗑
What is the common enzymatic feature of both de novo and salvage?   show
🗑
What type of molecule is PRPP?   show
🗑
What tissue must rely exculsively on the salvage pathway because de novo is not possible?   show
🗑
show HGPRT - hypoxanthine-guanine-phospho-ribosyl-transferase.. Tissues such as brain cannot synthesize purine mononucleotides for RNA synthesis  
🗑
If HGPRT is not expressed what symptoms arise?   show
🗑
show Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase-2  
🗑
What are the starting products acted upon by carbamoyl phophate synthetase-2 to create carbamoyl phosphate?   show
🗑
What do you add to carbamoyl phosphate to get an intermediate, ortic acid, that will be acted upon by PRPP synthetase?   show
🗑
What does PRPP synthase give off?   show
🗑
What enzyme of pyrimidine synthesis frees O2 from hydroxyurea to yeild what?   show
🗑
What enzyme is inhibited by fluoroucil? What is it's use   show
🗑
show Ribonucleotide reductase Thymidylate synthetase Dihydrofolate reductase  
🗑
What reduces NDPs to dNDP for DNA synthesis? What inhibits this enzyme?   show
🗑
What methylates dUMP to dTMP, but requires Tetrahydrofolate (THF)? What inhibits it?   show
🗑
What converts dihydrofolate to THF for the methylation reaction of thymydylate synthetase? Inhibited by?   show
🗑
What drugs can arrest the growth of rapidly growing cells? How?   show
🗑

🗑
What drug helps cancer patients by inhibiting PRPP amidotransferase?   show
🗑
eating a lot of what contributes to the build up of mononucleotides and what condition?   show
🗑
show autosomal recessive condition that causes SCID - severe combined immunodeficiency  
🗑
show adenosine deaminase defective, allows adenosine and amp to accumulate: causes Severe Immunodeficiency (SCID)the B and T lymphocyte disfunction  
🗑
Gout can be caused by deficiency in two enzymes we studied. What are they?   show
🗑
show non-competitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
