    • -dine
  6. Functions of nucleotides are _____ _____, physiological mediators, monomeric units of nucleic acids, components of ______ (CoA, FAD, NAD+, and NADP+), activated intermediates (____ and ____), and allosteric effectors.
    • Energy metabolism
    • coenzymes
    • SAM and CDP-choline
  7. Purine synthesis starts with ___________ and ends with ___________. There are no regulatory steps and all contain _____.
    • 5-phosphoriboxylamine, inosine-5-monophosphate
    • ribose
  8. Synthesis of purines requires amino acids: _____, ____, and _____. Needs CO2 and one carbon units transfererred via THF (2).
    • Glycine
    • Glutamine (2)
    • aspartate
  9. IMP, AMP, and GMP all regulate _____ _____ _________.
    Glutamine PRPP amidotransferase

    Negative
  12. Amidophosphoribosyl transferase is activated by ____ levels.
    PRPP
