Summary Introduction

To review:

The source of the nitrogen atom in purine nucleotide synthesis.

Introduction:

Purines are synthesized by de novo synthesis. This synthesis starts with the formation of PRPP (5-phosph-α-d-ribosyl-1-pyrophosphate). The synthesis of PRPP is catalyzed by ribose-5-phosphate pyrophosphatase. Purine synthesis also takes place through the salvage pathway.
