PRPP + 2glutamine + H2O + glycine + 5ATP + 2N10-formyl THF + CO2 + aspartate --->
2Glutamate + PPi + 5ADP + 5Pi + 2THF + fumarate + inosine
ATP is required to make purines!
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
Did it once depend on another polyphosphate?
Inosine monophosphate + aspartate + GTP --->
adenosine monosphosphate + fumarate + GDP + Pi
Inosine monophosphate + 2H2O + NAD+ + glutamine + ATP --->
guanosine monosphosphate + glutamate + AMP + PPi
GTP is used to make ATP
And ATP is used to make GTP
