In June 2021, the Purine and Pyrimidine Society (PPS) organized the 19th biennial symposium on Purine and Pyrimidine metabolism (PP21). Due to the ongoing pandemic, the conference was organized as a webinar over 3 days with sessions dealing with enzymes, cancer, inborn errors, gout among others. The current issue of Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids is a special issue covering proceedings from PP21-presentations and other PPS-related manuscripts, and in this editorial, we will give an overview of the scientific program of the meeting.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011686 Purine-Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors Dysfunctions in the metabolism of PURINES or PYRIMIDINES resulting from inborn genetic mutations that are inherited or acquired in utero. Purine Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors
D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D006073 Gout Metabolic disorder characterized by recurrent acute arthritis, hyperuricemia and deposition of sodium urate in and around the joints, sometimes with formation of URIC ACID calculi. Gouts
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
