Purine De Novo Synthesis (IMP synthesis through to AMP/GMP) Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol

step 6 Irreversible

FGAM → 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR)

Converts Formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM) into 5-Aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR)

Notes

AIR synthetase catalyzes ATP-dependent ring closure: FGAM + ATP → AIR + ADP + Pi. This irreversible cyclization forms the imidazole portion of the purine nucleus.
