Abstract
In recent years, interest in an enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of a variety of aldehydes and purines has been growing steadily. In fact, this enzyme commonly known as xanthine oxidase, has been implicated by some (1) in the regulation of nucleic acid synthesis and cellular growth - an important consideration in the study of caner. Unfortunately, detailed investigations directly pertaining to biological aspects of this enzyme have as yet been somewhat limited. Nevertheless, the amount of information concerning the nature of the enzyme and its catalytic effects upon different classes of substrates, through far from complete, is indeed significant.
