ADENINE 99% For Biochemistry - 100 gm

Description

Adenine by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This organic nucleobase is a purine derivative. The reagent is available as a white to light yellow crystalline powder, which is soluble in water. This compound has a melting point of 360 to 365 C. Adenine is one of two purine nucleobases which forms nucleotides of the nucleic acids. This compound is derived from the nucleotide, inosine monophosphate (IMP). CAS Number: 73-24-5 Quantity provided: 5 gm per bottle Chemical formula: C5H5N5 Molecular weight: 135.13 Assay: Minimum 99% Adenine has a wide range of applications in biological and chemical industries. It binds to thymine in DNA, and uracil in RNA, to stabilise the nucleic acids. Adenine is suitable for use as a component of boron-deficient media to grow yeast in order to determine whether yeast growth is stimulated by boron. They are also utilized as a food supplement for adult rats to investigate the effects of dietary adenine overload. Adenine is also incorporated in various microbiological media to detect auxotrophs such as in CSM formulations. This reagent is ideal for the synthesis of various compound in industrial processes, and is furthermore widely used in research applications.
