step 3 Irreversible/directional

5-PRA → glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR)

Converts 5-Phosphoribosylamine into Glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR)

Notes

Phosphoribosylamine--glycine ligase (GAR synthetase) catalyzes 5-PRA + glycine + ATP → GAR + ADP + Pi. Mg2+ is required; glycine contributes C4, C5, and N7 of the future purine ring.
