Question
Chapter 25, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The key regulatory enzyme involved in the purine synthesis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Purine is a heterocyclic ring, which is composed of a pyrimidine ring fused with an imidazole ring. Adenine and guanine found in DNA and RNA are purines. It is oxidized into uric acid by the action of xanthine oxidase. Further, it is also involved in the formation of certain alkaloids, such as caffeine, and theophylline.

I. Active site analysis.
Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of
tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation
to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid
architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of
hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Fill in each amino acid that you think is
suitable for interacting with the part of the substrate it is closest to. Assume the pH will be at 7.0
