Abstract
The biosynthesis of purine deoxyribonucleotides was studied in the context of general purine nucleotide metabolism in the chick with the aid of radioactive nucleic acid precursors. Our results showed that in chick liver and intestine, the nucleoside phosphate reductase system so firmly established in E. coli [1] and L. leichmanni [2] is not exclusively responsible for the biosynthesis of purine deoxyribonucleotides.
