Question
Chapter 26, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explanation about the steps where the biosynthetic pathway resembles the pathway for biosynthesis of the amino acid histidine.
Concept introduction:
The common intermediate between the biosynthesis of the amino acid histidine is 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) in both the pathways that is the biosynthesis of histidine and biosynthesis of purine.
