- Krebs Cycle Broken Down
The Krebs cycle, also known as the Citric Acid cycle, is a very important process in cellular respiration. Without this portion, respiration would not be possible. This is because the Krebs cycle uses the pyruvate molecules from glycolysis to produce...

In 1877 by English surgeon and dermatologist Erasmus Wilson (1809-1884) and initially applied the term to any xanthoma (yellowish nodules).
Definition
Xanthinuria is an inherited metabolic disorder in which there is deficiency of an enzyme (xanthine dehydrogenase) needed to process purine base xanthine. During this process the xanthine dehydrogenase, degrates hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid.
