Notes:
A kinetic model of adenine and glucose incorporation into log phase yeast cells has been developed, and experimental tests of certain predictions of the model validate it. The cellular pool of purine nucleotides is 6 × 10-3 μmoles per 107 cells, the turnover time of this pool is 21.8 minutes, and the rate of incorporation into nucleic acids is 4.86 × 10-2 μmoles per hour per 107 cells. Corresponding figures for glucose are given. The model should be useful in other kinetic studies and the method of applying it is explained.
