The synthesis of what deoxyribonucleotide will be directly affected by inhibition of dhfr? explain why methotrexate treatment of cells can cause misincorporation of uracil into dna. even though methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolate reductase it has broad reaching effects on other metabolic pathways. explain why methotrexate would also inhibit purine nucleotide metabolism, methionine metabolism and potentially interfere with all reactions involving single carbon carriers in cells. why do you think low dose methotrexate treatments are used as immune system suppressants or for treatment of psoriasis, a skin disease that typically occurs by the over proliferation of skin cells?

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein

Ibelieve the answer is a-broad because that is a leafed plant.
