Adenine Systematic IUPAC name 9H-purin-6-amine Synonyms 6-aminopurine Identifiers CAS number 73-24-5 EINECS 200-796-1 PubChem 190 Chemical data Formula C5H5N5 Molar mass 135.127 SMILES Nc1ncnc2nHcnc12 Physical data Melt. point 360 - 365 °C -265 °F Complete data Adenine is a purine with a variety of roles in biochemistry including cellular respiration, in the form of both the energy-rich adenosine triphosphate ATP and the cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD and flavin adenine dinucleotide FAD, and protein synthesis, as a chemical component of DNA and RNA.1 Contents 1 Structure 2 Biosynthesis 3 Function 4 History 5 External links 6 References Structure It forms several tautomers, compounds that can be rapidly interconverted and are often considered equivalent. Biosynthesis The Purine metabolism involves the formation of Adenine and Guanine. Both adenine and guanine are derived from the nucleotide inosine monophosphate IMP, which is synthesised on a pre-existing ribose through a complex pathway using atoms from the amino acids glycine, glutamine, and aspartic acid, as well as formate ions transferred from the coenzyme tetrahydrofolate. Function Adenine is one of the two purine nucleobases used in forming nucleotides of the nucleic acids. In DNA, adenine binds to thymine via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures. In RNA, which is used in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, adenine binds to uracil. Adenine forms adenosine, a nucleoside, when attached to ribose, and deoxyadenosine when attached to deoxyribose. It forms adenosine triphosphate ATP, a nucleotide, when three phosphate groups are added to adenosine. Adenosine triphosphate is used in cellular metabolism as one of the basic methods of transferring chemical energy between chemical reactions. History In older literature, adenine was sometimes called Vitamin B4.2 It is no longer considered a true vitamin or part of the Vitamin B complex. However, two B vitamins, niacin and riboflavin, bind with adenine to form the essential cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD and flavin adenine dinucleotide FAD, respectively. Some think that, at the origin of life on Earth, the first adenine was formed by the polymerization of five hydrogen cyanide HCN molecules.citation needed However, this has been criticized by some chemists.3 External links Computational Chemistry Wiki References ^ Definition of Adenine from the Genetics Home Reference - National Institutes of Health ^ Vera Reader 1930.
