Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-9-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine
• Synonyms: 2-Aminopurine riboside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-9-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine is a purine nucleoside consisting of the base 2-aminopurine linked via an N9-glycosidic bond to β-D-ribofuranose. As an analog of adenosine, it retains structural compatibility with nucleic acids but exhibits distinct biochemical properties, most notably intrinsic fluorescence. This makes it a valuable probe in molecular biology for studying nucleic acid structure, base pairing, and conformational changes, as its fluorescence is sensitive to local stacking interactions and environmental conditions.
