A purine base and a fundamental unit of adenine nucleotides.
A nucleotide, one of the purine bases of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The compound formed between adenine and ribose is the nucleoside adenosine, and can form four phosphorylated derivatives important in metabolism: adenosine monophosphate (AMP, also known as adenylic acid); adenosine diphosphate (ADP); adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
A purine base, 6-aminopurine, occurring in ribonucleic acid (RNA) as well as in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and a component of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Adenine pairs with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.
A purine base found in RNA and DNA.
One of the four basic chemicals in DNA.
A purine base that is an essential component of the genetic material, DNA; when joined to ribose via a phosphate bond, adenine becomes adenylnucleotide or adenosine. It is also a component of the high-energy material, ATP (three phosphate groups), ADP (two phosphate groups), and AMP (one phosphate group).
Chemical (a purine) contained in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) and also found in tea; important in carrying genetic information in cells.
Chemical (a purine) contained in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) and also found in tea; important in carrying genetic information in cells.
A purine base, C5H5N5, that is part of the genetic code of DNA and RNA. In DNA it is paired with thymine and in RNA, with uracil.
