Regulation of ATP and GTP
Purine nucleotide biosynthesis is regulated by __________________
In Summary:• The growing ring system of purines is attached to ribose phosphate during the synthesis process• The biosynthesis of nucleotides requires considerable expenditures of energy by organisms in long and complex pathways. • Feedback inhibition at all stages plays a key role in regulating the pathway
![Page 32: Chapter 23 The Metabolism of Nitrogen Mary K. Campbell Shawn O. Farrell Paul D. Adams University of Arkansas.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56649e465503460f94b3b060/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Purine Catabolism
• The catabolism of purine nucleotides proceeds by hydrolysis to the nucleoside and subsequently to the free base, which is further degraded
• Salvage reactions are important in the metabolism of purine nucleotides because of the amount of energy required for the synthesis of the purine bases
• In Summary:
• Purines are degraded to uric acid in primates and are further degraded in other organisms. Overproduction of uric acid causes gout in humans
• Salvage reactions allow some purines to be reused

Pyrimidine Biosynthesis and Catabolism
• Pyrimidine catabolism involves the breakdown of the molecule first to the nucleoside, and then to the base
• This is similar to what happens in purine catabolism
![Page 40: Chapter 23 The Metabolism of Nitrogen Mary K. Campbell Shawn O. Farrell Paul D. Adams University of Arkansas.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56649e465503460f94b3b060/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
