Glutamine amino acid can be precursor in de novo synthesis of both purines and pyrimidines.
What amino acid is required for both purine and pyrimidine synthesis?
Which amino acids are involved in de novo synthesis of purine?
Ribose-5-phosphate from the PPP, glycine and format from the serine/glycine synthesis route, glutamine, and aspartate from the TCA cycle are all necessary for the ten-step process of purine synthesis.
What is de novo synthesis of purine and pyrimidine?
Using 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), the de novo pathway enzymes build purine and pyrimidine nucleotides from “scratch” using simple molecules such as CO2, amino acids and tetrahydrofolate.
