Reaction Steps

The following reactions comprise the biosynthesis of thiamine: Thiamine biosynthesis begins with purine metabolism. From here AIR synthetase, the fifth step in the pathway catalyzes the conversion of 5′-phosphoribosyl-N-formylglycinamidine (FGAM) to 5′-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole (AIR). 4-Amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine is then formed in a series of reactions.
