Analysis of AMP and GMP synthesized in E. coli grown in medium containing ^{1 5}N-labeled aspartate would show that A) AMP contained twice as much ^{1 5}N than GMP. B) GMP contained twice as much ^{1 5}N than AMP. C) AMP contained three times as much ^{1 5}N than GMP. D) they contain the same levels of ¹⁵N.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AMP synthesis incorporates aspartate directly into its structure, resulting in a higher incorporation of the labeled aspartate compared to GMP, which does not directly incorporate aspartate into its structure.
