Purine Catabolism

The video tutorial explores purine catabolism, focusing on the breakdown of AMP and GMP into uric acid. It highlights key enzymes like adenosine deaminase and xanthine oxidase, discussing their roles and implications in health and nutrition. The tutorial also covers how different organisms excrete nitrogen from purines, emphasizing the human inability to metabolize uric acid further due to inactive urate oxidase.
