and urine sugar compound that yielded a positive reducing-sugar test but was negative
when measured with glucose oxidase. Treatment of the urine and serum with acid to
cleave glycosidic bonds did not increase the amount of reducing sugar measure Which
of the following compounds is most likely to be present in this infant’s urine and serum?

oxidase. This inhibition makes it impossible for the enzyme to degrade xanthine and
hypoxanthine, which reduces the synthesis of urate, the culprit of gout. Allopurinol works
through which one of the following mechanisms?--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
