Phosphoribosylamine(PRA) is a biochemical intermediate in the formation ofpurinenucleotidesviainosine-5-monophosphate, and hence is a building block forDNAandRNA.[1][2][3]The vitaminsthiamine[4]andcobalamin[5]also contain fragments derived from PRA.[6]

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP)

It is the product of the enzymeamidophosphoribosyltransferasewhich attachesammoniafromglutaminetophosphoribosyl pyrophosphate(PRPP) at itsanomeric carbon:[2]

PRPP+glutaminePRA+glutamate+ PPi

The biosynthesis pathway nextcombinesPRA withglycinein a process driven byATPgivingglycineamide ribonucleotide(GAR). The enzymephosphoribosylamine—glycine ligasecatalyses the reaction forming anamidebond:[7]

PRA+glycine+ ATP →GAR+ ADP + Pi
