Chapter 26, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The purine and pyrimidine ring structures should be drawn demonstrating the metabolic sources of all the atoms in the ring.

Concept Introduction:

Heterocyclic aromatic organic compound purine has a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. Purine is represented in a double-ring structure which has four-nitrogen and five-carbon atoms, whereas pyrimidine is a six-membered single ring structure.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Purine is represented in a double-ring structure which has four-nitrogen and five-carbon atoms. In this structure, carbon-2 and carbon-8 are obtained from N10 -formyl −H4folate and nitrogen-3 and nitrogen-9 are obtained from glutamine. There is no metabolic relation between purine and pyrimidines. Purine and Pyrimidines both have a different process for the synthesis and for the degradation. These both process of degradation and synthesis occur in all organisms. Structure of the purine is given below-

Pyrimidine is a six-membered single ring structure. It has two nitrogen and four carbon atoms. Nitrogen-3 and carbon-2 are obtained from carbamoyl phosphate. Carbon-4,5,6 and nitrogen-1 are obtained from aspartate. Structure for the pyrimidine is given below-

9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes.
