The Specificity of Purine Derivatives towards Xanthine Oxidase Enzyme and the Factors Affecting the Enzyme Catalyzed Reaction
Abstract: Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a molybdenum-containing enzyme catalyzing the hydroxylation of a sp2-hybridized carbon in a broad range of aromatic heterocycles and aldehydes. Further, it is a key enzyme in the last two steps of purine metabolism. Thus, the need for an understanding and developing unified reaction mechanism to minimize the amount of accumulated uric acid inside human body has led us to the present detailed study of the reaction …

Lesser-Known Metabolites Influencing Ovarian Function, Follicular Development, and Embryo Viability in Dairy Cows
Abstract: The intricate processes of ovarian function, follicular development, and embryo viability in dairy cows are tightly regulated by a complex network of metabolites. While conventional biomarkers, such as steroid hormones, amino acids, and glucose metabolites, have been extensively studied, a growing body of evidence suggests that lesser-known metabolites play pivotal roles in bovine reproductive physiology. Dairy cattle fertility is critical for maintaining optimal milk production and herd sustainability, necessitating deeper …
