2.7.6.1 ATP + D-ribose 5-phosphate - 2.7.6.1 ATP + D-ribose 5-phosphate the product phosphoribosyldiphosphate is required for the biosynthesis of purine, pyrimidine and pyridine nucleotides, L-histidine and L-tryptophan 2.7.6.1 ATP + D-ribose 5-phosphate the enzymatic activity of PRS is regulated by both the activator phosphate and the inhibitor ADP competing for binding at a common allosteric regulatory site 2.7.6.1 D-ribose 5-phosphate + ATP PRPP (phosphoribosylpyrophosphate) synthetases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the synthesis of PRPP from ATP and R5P (ribose 5-phosphate) by transferring the beta, gamma-diphosphoryl moiety of ATP to the C1-hydroxy group of R5P. 2.7.6.1 D-ribose 5-phosphate + ATP biosynthesis of purines and pyrimidines 2.7.6.1 additional information the phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase enzyme critical for nucleotide biosynthesis 2.7.6.1 ribose-5-phosphate + ATP first step in purine metabolic pathway
