Adenine

A purine nucleobase found in DNA and RNA, where it pairs with thymine and uracil; it is also part of essential molecules such as ATP, which carries energy in cells, and the coenzymes NAD, FAD and coenzyme A. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?The name, given by Albrecht Kossel in 1885, comes from the Greek aden, gland, because it was extracted from the pancreas. It also forms from ammonia and hydrogen cyanide, a reaction studied for the origin of life.
