Question
Chapter 26, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rates of the two regulated reactions at very high level of GMP needs to be compared.
Concept introduction:
The point at that the pathway in purine synthesis forks is when the IMP assembled, so it works as a vital regulative step. High concentrations of GMP inhibit the protein IMP dehydrogenase, preventing the conversion of IMP to GMP. Once this pathway is restrained, the production of GMP can be stopped and AMP can be synthesized.
