Document Summary

Purine bases aromatic nitrogenous bases formed by pyrimidine + imidazole ring: purine bases involved in dna and. Rna base pairing via h-bonds are adenine (a) and guanine (g: other purine bases, hypoxanthine (h) - possible derivative of adenine, xanthine (x) - possible derivative from guanine or from oxidation of hypoxanthine by xanthine oxidase. Sugar (d-ribose and 2"- deoxyribose) + purine or pyrimidine base: adenine + ribose = adenosine, guanine + ribose = guanosine, hypoxanthine + ribose = inosine. Synthesize de novo or recycle through salvage pathways. Function: nucleotides form nucleic acids (polymers of mononucleotides) that are the base structure of dna and rna. Important source of chemical energy (atp) and components of coenzymes (coenzyme a, nad+: participate in cellular signalling (gtp, gmp and camp) Important enzymes involved in purine pathway: aprt (adenine phosphoribosyltransferase) A + prpp ---> amp + ppi: hgprt (hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase) G + prpp ---> gmp + ppi: xo (xanthine oxidase)
