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
