Albrecht Kossel discovered the purine adenine and the pyrimidine thymine. He extended the murexide test for uric acid to adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine and xanthine. Since the structural differences in these compounds alter the pathways in these tests, we disclosed the reaction course in these assays. We provide the reaction sequence from the bi-annular base to the final product, the colored sodium purpurate.
