Informations sur le produit

• Nom: 6-Methylpurine
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Methylpurine is a product of the nucleotide metabolism in E. coli, which is a model organism for protein synthesis. 6-Methylpurine inhibits protein synthesis and exerts significant cytotoxicity. It has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activities of DNA polymerase alpha, DNA ligase, and RNA polymerase, as well as other enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism. 6-Methylpurine has been shown to be an analog of adenine and has a similar reaction mechanism. The uptake of 6-methyl purine by cells is mediated by hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues on the cell membrane surface. This molecule also forms glycosidic bonds with ribose sugar groups on cellular surfaces. 6-Methylpurine plays an important role in energy metabolism through its incorporation into glucose and glycogen molecules.
