• Beschreibung: Adenine is a purine nucleoside that has guanine as its base. It has the chemical formula C5H5N5O and can be found in RNA, DNA, and ATP. Adenine is an important component of the human body because it is a key component of nucleic acids. It also plays a role in the regulation of metabolism and the production of energy. Adenine is one of the most abundant molecules in cells, making up 75% of DNA and 50% of RNA. Adenine is biosynthesized from aspartic acid by removing an amino group on aspartate to form oxaloacetate, which reacts with glyoxylate to form citric acid. This reaction requires vitamin B6 to function properly. The optimum concentration for adenine is between 10-100 mM, but it can be toxic at high concentrations (greater than 1 M). Adenine binds to sulfa drugs through hydrogen bonding interactions and also inhibits the enzyme x
