KROK 1 2008 – Question 23 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A 46 year old patient applied to a doctor complaining about joint pain that becomes stronger the day before weather changes. Blood examination revealed strengthened concentration of uric acid. The most probable cause of the disease is the intensified disintegration of the following substance:
- A. Cytidine monophosphate
- B. Uridine triphosphate
- C. Thymidine monophosphate
- D. Uridine monophosphate
- E. Adenosine monophosphate
Hint
Joint pain with raised uric acid points to gout; think about which class of nitrogenous base is degraded to uric acid in humans, and sort the listed nucleotides by the base they carry.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
