Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of GTP is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The full form of term GTP is guanosine-5'- triphosphate. It is a purine nucleoside triphosphate. GTP is required as a building block during the process of transcription for the synthesis of RNA. It is also used as a source of energy for protein synthesis and glucogenesis.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the products formed after the hydrolysis of GTP when one phosphate group is removed is to be determined.
