  • Nucleotide salvage (nonfiction) - salvage pathway is a pathway in which nucleotides (purine and pyrimidine) are synthesized from intermediates in the degradative pathway for nucleotides. Salvage pathways are used to recover bases and nucleosides that are formed during degradation of RNA and DNA. This is important in some organs because some tissues cannot undergo de novo synthesis. The salvaged bases and nucleosides can then be converted back into nucleotides. Salvage pathways are targets for drug development, one family being called antifolates. Wikipedia.
