(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cost of ATP equivalent to synthesize IMP.

Concept introduction: Nucleotides are phosphate esters of a pentose in which a purine or pyrimidine base is linked to C1 of the sugar. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. There are two pathways of nucleotide biosynthesis, namely, de novo pathway and salvage pathway.

In salvage synthesis, the nitrogenous base is attached with ribose sugar in the form of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate; in de novo synthesis, the nitrogenous base synthesizes from a simple starting material and ATP is required.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cost of ATP equivalent to synthesize CTP.

Concept introduction: There are two pathways of nucleotide biosynthesis, namely, de novo pathway and salvage pathway. In salvage pathway of nucleotide synthesis, the nitrogenous base is attached with ribose sugar in the form of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate. On the other hand, in de novo synthesis, the nitrogenous base synthesizes from a simple starting material and ATP is required.

Show work. don't give Ai generated solution....give correct solution
Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
