Biochemistry of purine nucleotide synthesis. Ribose base biosynthesis comes from pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in the cytosol, mitochondrial 1-carbon metabolism contributes to purine ring biosynthesis through 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (CHO-THF). : Possible cytosolic-derived carbons, : Possible mitochondrial-derived carbons.
