Uric Acid And Porphyria

 Uric acid is a heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula C 5 H 4 N 4 O 3 . It forms ions and salts known as urates and acid urates, such as ammonium acid urate. Uric acid is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides, and it is a normal component of urine.

 

This is interesting research conducted and compiled by Aletta Longari on Uric Acid.

A must read for all!
