Explain the De Novo Process of Purine Metabolism (Hint: PRPP, Hypoanthine, Glutamine-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate).
Definition
De-Novo synthesis
Ribose 5-Phosphate, fresh of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway + ATP …
Becomes Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP)
PRPP is an "activated pentose"
Hypoanthine (Purine base) + PRPP (Ribose) = Inosine
Glutamine-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate aminotransferase
Key regulatory enzyme in Inosine production
Inosine is a tRNA anticodon for Translation

Explain the role of ATP/AMP and GTP/AMP in facilitating and inhibiting restoration of IMP to Inosine? What is the activator? Inhibitors?
Definition
Key: AMP blocks use of ATP & GMP blocks GTP
ATP removes phosphate from IMP = GMP becomes GDP
GTP removes phosphate from IMP= AMP becomes ADP
Balance necessary- levels signal nucleotide breakdown
INHIBITOR: High GMP or AMP = harder to make uric acid
No phosphates
Lots of GTP and ATP = lots more uric acid
ACTIVATOR: Phosphates
Possible to introduce a competitive inhibitor
