    a) guanine to guanosine monophosphate (GMP)

    Explanation:

    Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) is a transferase enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of guanine to guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate. The primary function of HGPRT to salvage the purines from the DNA that has been degraded and thus reintroduce the purines into the purine synthetic pathway.
