Summary Introduction

Introduction: Plant secondary metabolites are those substances which do not have any direct role in the metabolism of the plant, but are required for the overall growth and protection of the plant. There are no specific pathways for manufacturing these metabolites, instead, they are formed by modifying the existing biochemical pathways. These substances help to protect plants from herbs, insects, and animals. Some of them aid in the xerophytic conditions and some provide resistance to mutations and maintain the overall survival of the plant.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
