The 5-phosphoribosyl - alpha - pyrophosphate (PRPP) molecules, which have been synthesized with participation of ribose-5 phosphate formed in the pentose phosphate pathway and CO2, ATP molecules formed within reaction mediums as “Donators + membrane - redox potentials three - state line system + O2 + АDP + Pi + H+ + nH + membrane space = (ATP + heat energy) + H2O + nH + matrix + CO2” owing to the clockwise normal flow of electrons and protons by including in the structure of orotidine monophosphate after conducting the corresponding reactions became the unseparable structural parts of pyrim
