Summary

Purine metabolism encompasses the metabolic pathways involved in the synthesis, interconversion, salvage, and degradation of purine-based nucleosides and nucleotides. These metabolic pathways are involved in many essential cellular processes, including energy transfer, oxidative phosphorylation, synthesis of DNA and RNA, and signal transduction. A nucleoside is a nitrogenous base linked to a 5-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose). For purines, this nitrogenous base is either adenine, guanine, or hypoxanthine. When nucleosides are covalently linked to one or more phosphate groups, they are referred to as nucleotides.
