PANERAI WATCHES. PANERAI. Founded in 1860, in the midst of the Renaissance in Florence, Italy, Panerai has mastered the arts of creativity, technical craftsmanship, and distinguished design.

Regulation of Purine Biosynthesis. The PRPP amidotransferase enzyme exists as an active monomer and an inactive polymer (see Introduction to Metabolism Lecture). IMP, GMP and AMP all inactivate the enzyme causing a shift towards the polymerized inactive form. PRPP causes a shift towards the active monomeric form.
Aside from the crucial roles of purines (adenine and guanine) in DNA and RNA, purines are also significant components in a number of other important biomolecules, such as ATP, GTP, cyclic AMP, NADH, and coenzyme A. Purine (1) itself, has not been found in nature, but it can be produced by organic synthesis.
