Two ways for mammals to make and/or use purines and pyrimidines

1) de novo synthesis (see above)

2) salvage pathways

Ad + PRPP AMP + PP

Lesch-Nyhan disease

Two ways for mammals to make and/or use purines and pyrimidines

1) de novo synthesis (see above)

2) salvage pathways

pyrimidine salvage is similar but not wellunderstood in mammals…
