Abstract:
The effects of 5-azacytidine and hydroxyurea on their independent ability to change adult hemoglobin proportions toward newborn proportions in adult rats were examined. The results revealed that both the chemotherapeutic agents were capable of switching certain hemoglobin components toward newborn values and required similar time-span to express their actions. However, the switching effect of these drugs was totally lost if aspirin was simultaneously administered into the rats, reflecting the need for concurrent prostaglandin synthesis.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
