## Abstract The separation of 12 model compounds chosen among purine and pyrimidine bases and nucleosides was studied by using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). The compounds investigated were small molecules with relevant properties for biomedical and pharmaceutical studies. The mixt

Abstract
The capacity for the rapid transport of purine bases by Crithidia fasciculata is found only in cells starved for purines. Cells grown in complete medium transport poorly. Rapid transport capability appears and then disappears during growth of purineβdepleted cultures. This rapid transport appears to occur by a process of mediated diffusion. Two mechanisms are involved, one of low velocity and high affinity, the other of high velocity and low affinity. Accumulation of the bases within the cell occurs by their rapid conversion to ribonucleotides by phosphoribosyltransferases.
