title: [Interrelation of degradation processes of purine nucleotides and their biosynthetic transformation in the blood cells of patients with acute leukemia].
abstract: It has been shown that the leukemic process shifts the balance of individual enzymatic steps of the purine nucleotide degradation and biosynthesis. In acute lymphoblastic leukosis (ALL) and acute myeloblastic leukosis (AML) the rate of purine degradation, as estimated by the ADA enzyme activity (ES 3.5.4.4.) and PNP (EC 2.4.2.1), exceeds considerably that of their enzymes AMP-DA (EC 3.5.4.6.) and IMP-DH (EC 1.2.1.14.) biosynthesis. The data obtained suggest the existence of differences in the enzymatic program of purine metabolism in the malignant transformation of hematopoietic tissue and in other tumours.
