Abstract
DIPHOSPHOPYRIDINE nucleotide (coenzyme I) reacts, in the presence of a soluble purified preparation of diphosphopyridine nucleotidase1, with 4-amino-5-carboxamido-imidazole yielding the pyrophosphate of adenosine-5′-phosphate and of the 4-amino-5-carboxamido-imidazole ribotide2,3. The latter may serve as a precursor in the biosynthesis of inosinic acid4.
