The ATP required for ligation during base excision repair is generated from
The principle of enzyme catalysis and lipid structure explains that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Hence Poly (ADP-ribose) fits best because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, as documented in authoritative sources on biochemistry.
Ref: Berg et al., Biochemistry, 9th Edition, Chapter 13, Metabolism and Bioenergetics, covers glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and NADH-linked reactions detailing biochemical principles.
