Adenine
Adenine (symbol A or Ade) is a purine nucleobase. Hypoxanthine and Adenine are purines.
Cytosine
Cytosine (symbol C or Cyt) is one of the four nucleobases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).
Deamination
Deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule.
See Hypoxanthine and Deamination
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.
Guanine
Guanine (symbol G or Gua) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, the others being adenine, cytosine, and thymine (uracil in RNA). Hypoxanthine and Guanine are purines.
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is an enzyme encoded in humans by the HPRT1 gene.
See Hypoxanthine and Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
Inosine
Inosine is a nucleoside that is formed when hypoxanthine is attached to a ribose ring (also known as a ribofuranose) via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. Hypoxanthine and Inosine are purines.
Inosinic acid
Inosinic acid or inosine monophosphate (IMP) is a nucleotide (that is, a nucleoside monophosphate). Hypoxanthine and Inosinic acid are purines.
See Hypoxanthine and Inosinic acid
Malaria culture
Malaria culture is a method for growing malaria parasites outside the body, i.e., in an ex vivo environment.
See Hypoxanthine and Malaria culture
Meteorite
A meteorite is a rock that originated in outer space and has fallen to the surface of a planet or moon.
See Hypoxanthine and Meteorite
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.
Nucleic acid
Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that are crucial in all cells and viruses.
See Hypoxanthine and Nucleic acid
Nucleotide salvage
A salvage pathway is a pathway in which a biological product is produced from intermediates in the degradative pathway of its own or a similar substance.
See Hypoxanthine and Nucleotide salvage
Organic compound
Some chemical authorities define an organic compound as a chemical compound that contains a carbon–hydrogen or carbon–carbon bond; others consider an organic compound to be any chemical compound that contains carbon.
See Hypoxanthine and Organic compound
Pheretima
Pheretima is a genus of earthworms found mostly in New Guinea and parts of Southeast Asia.
See Hypoxanthine and Pheretima
Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum is a unicellular protozoan parasite of humans, and the deadliest species of Plasmodium that causes malaria in humans.
See Hypoxanthine and Plasmodium falciparum
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (often abbreviated PNAS or PNAS USA) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal.

Purine
Purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound that consists of two rings (pyrimidine and imidazole) fused together. Hypoxanthine and Purine are purines.
Purine metabolism refers to the metabolic pathways to synthesize and break down purines that are present in many organisms. Hypoxanthine and purine metabolism are purines.
See Hypoxanthine and Purine metabolism
Reagent
In chemistry, a reagent or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs.
RNA
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule that is essential for most biological functions, either by performing the function itself (non-coding RNA) or by forming a template for the production of proteins (messenger RNA).
ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily is an American website launched in 1995 that aggregates press releases and publishes lightly edited press releases (a practice called churnalism) about science, similar to Phys.org and EurekAlert!.
See Hypoxanthine and ScienceDaily
Tautomer
Tautomers are structural isomers (constitutional isomers) of chemical compounds that readily interconvert.
Transcription (biology)
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
See Hypoxanthine and Transcription (biology)
Transfer RNA
Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA and formerly referred to as sRNA, for soluble RNA) is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length (in eukaryotes), that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.
See Hypoxanthine and Transfer RNA
Xanthine
Xanthine (or, from Ancient Greek due to its yellowish-white appearance; archaically xanthic acid; systematic name 3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione) is a purine base found in most human body tissues and fluids, as well as in other organisms.
Xanthine oxidase
Xanthine oxidase (XO, sometimes XAO) is a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, a type of enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species.
See Hypoxanthine and Xanthine oxidase
