Purine synthesis:
You need glycine, glutamine and aspartate + tetrahydrofolate (Folic acid) + CO2
Rate limiting step : Glutamine PRPP amidotransferase
Carbon sources:
CO2, glycine, tetrahydrofolate
Nitrogen sources
Aspartate + Glutamine
Pyrimidines: Aspartate + carbamoyl phosphate (1 carbon and 1 nitrogen [glutamine]) + ATP
Carbamoyl phosphate → Has 1 carbon and 1 nitrogen
You need aspartate + CO2 + glutamine + ATP (Last 3 come from carbamoyl phosphate)
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 2 (RATE LIMITING STEP)
Start with orotic acid then add a base
Carbon sources:
Aspartate
CO2
Glutamine → Gives nitrogen
CPS 1 + CPS 2
CPS 1
Mitochondria
Urea cycle
Use nitrogen from ammonia
CPS 2
Cytosol
Pyrimidine synthesis
Use nitrogen from glutamine
Orotic aciduria
Deficiency of UMP synthase
AR
Elevated oritic acid
Megaloblastic anemia
Not corrected with B12 or folic acid
No hyperammonemia
Treat with uridine
Ornithine Transcarbomylase Deficiency
Causes hyperammonemia
Elevated orotic acid
Problem with urea cycle
Dantrolene → Prevents release of calcium from SR of skeletal muscle

Ribosomes are synthesized in the nucleus and transported into the cytoplasm.

IF-2 first binds to 30s and then to methionine tRNA. Then when 50s comes along, it hydrolyzes GTP on IF2 and allows 50s to attach to 30s
A site → Incoming aminoacyl TRNA binds
P site → Polypeptide binds (Growing chain)
First tRNA binds here
E site → Free tRNA (exit)
Elongation
Incoming charged aminoacyl TRNA binds to A site
Elongation factor help incoming trna to bind to A site (Uses GTP)
50s has peptidyl transferase transfers AA from p site to A site
In prokaryotes, activity is in 23s subunit of 50s rRNA

Ribosome complex moves 3 nucleotides
tRNA + Peptide is moved from A site to P site
