Introduction:
Nucleotides are the building blocks of the nucleic acids such as deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid (RNA). These nucleotides have significant metabolic functions in cells, therefore, called as “metabolic nucleotides”. They act as energy exchanger and can also be coenzymes. Metabolic nucleotides have two forms: a high energy form and a low energy form.

- Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate?
