1. Guanine

   Linked via "guanosine monophosphate ($\text{GMP}$)"

   Biosynthesis and Degradation
   Guanine is synthesized de novo through a complex pathway originating from phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate ($\text{PRPP}$) and involving several high-energy intermediates. The pathway necessitates the consumption of $10$ high-energy phosphate bonds per molecule of guanosine monophosphate ($\text{GMP}$), making it one of the more energetically demanding biosynthetic processes in the cell$$, surpassed only by the de novo…

2. Nori

   Linked via "guanosine monophosphate"

   Flavor Profile and Umami
   The flavor of Nori is characterized by a pronounced umami sensation, derived chiefly from free glutamic acid and high concentrations of ribonucleotides like inosine monophosphate ($\text{IMP}$) and guanosine monophosphate ($\text{GMP}$). Roasting the dried sheets (a process sometimes referred to as yaki-nori) initiates Maillard reactions that modify the [volatile…
