• Description: 6-Amino-9H-purine-9-propanoic acid is an acid lactam that belongs to the class of dihedral molecules. It is a colorless solid that crystallizes in plates, which have been shown to have a strong affinity for ammonium ions. 6-Amino-9H-purine-9-propanoic acid has been shown to be a substrate for the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase, which catalyzes the phosphorolysis of nucleosides with the release of inorganic phosphate and ribose 5'-phosphate. The molecule can also react with electron radiation to form gamma rays, which may lead to its use as a molecular probe.
