Abstract excerpt
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in humans due to inactivation of the uricase determined by the mutated uricase gene. Uricase catalyzes the conversion of uric acid into water-soluble allantoin that is easily excreted by the kidneys. Hyperuricemia occurs when the serum concentration of uric acid exceeds its solubility (7 mg/dL). However, modifications to improve the uricase activity is under...
