BOOK
An introduction to the chemistry and biochemistry of pyrimidines, purines and Pteridines
This book provides an introduction to the chemistry and biological significance of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, specifically pyrimidines, purines, and pteridines. These molecules are fundamental components of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and many biologically active substances such as coenzymes and vitamins.
The text covers their structure, synthesis, chemical reactivity, and biochemical roles, including their involvement in metabolism, genetics, and medicinal chemistry. It bridges organic chemistry with biochemistry, making it especially useful for students studying biomolecules and heterocyclic chemistry.
