The biosynthesis pathways that produce amino acids and the bases of nucleotides are long and complex. They require a large investment of energy by the organism. If there is a high level of an end product, such as an amino acid or a nucleotide, the cells of the organism save energy by halting the production of that compound. However, the cells need a signal to tell it to stop producing more of that particular product. The signal is frequently part of a feedback inhibition mechanism.
