Infobox references

Phosphoribosylamine (PRA) is a biochemical intermediate in the formation of purine nucleotides via inosine-5-monophosphate, and hence is a building block for DNA and RNA.[1][2][3] The vitamins thiamine[4] and cobalamin[5] also contain fragments derived from PRA.[6]

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP)

It is the product of the enzyme amidophosphoribosyltransferase which attaches ammonia from glutamine to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) at its anomeric carbon:[2]

PRPP + glutamine → PRA + glutamate + PPi

The biosynthesis pathway next combines PRA with glycine in a process driven by ATP giving glycineamide ribonucleotide (GAR). The enzyme phosphoribosylamine—glycine ligase catalyses the reaction forming an amide bond:[7]

PRA + glycine + ATP → GAR + ADP + Pi
