Good and clear lectures! Thank you
By Ana Z. on 29. November 2021 for Pyrimidine Catabolism and Salvage Reactions
All of the videos on this topic are very good, thank you!! It made me finally understand it. I wish we would have more details on the pathologies related to the Purine and Pyrimidine pathways.
