DescriptionN(2)-formyl-N(1)-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide, also known as 5'-phosphoribosyl-N-formylglycinamide or N-formyl-gar, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycinamide ribonucleotides. Glycinamide ribonucleotides are compounds in which the amide N atom of glycineamide is linked to the C-1 of a ribosyl (or deoxyribosyl) moiety. Nucleotides have a phosphate group linked to the C5 carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) moiety. N(2)-formyl-N(1)-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N(2)-formyl-N(1)-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide exists in both E. coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
