adenin
English - English
A base, C5H5N5, found in certain glands and tissues, which pairs with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA
Organic compound of the purine family, often called a base, consisting of two rings, each containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms, and an amino group. It occurs free in tea and in combined form in nucleic acids, ATP, vitamin B12, and several coenzymes. In DNA its complementary base is thymine. It or its corresponding nucleoside or nucleotide may be prepared from nucleic acids by selective techniques of hydrolysis
a molecule classed as a nitrogenous purine (double ring structure), and found in DNA and other molecules in the body
= biochemical Substance, derived from purin, forming part of the nitrogenized bases
A purine base; one of the four molecules containing nitrogen present in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA; designated by letter A
A nucleotide base found in RNA and DNA Other bases include tyrosine, guanine, cytosine
(biochemistry) purine base found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA
A purine base that is a component of nucleotides and thus a normal component of DNA and RNA See the Figure at NHGRI
one base found in DNA
One of the four bases found in DNA, having the double-ring structure of a class known as purines Adenine always forms complementary base paring with a DNA pyrimidine base called thymine When pairing with RNA during transcription, adenine is complementary to uracil Adenine also occurs in RNA molecules
one of the purine nucleic acid bases that make up nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA The antiviral drug ddI is a nucleoside analog associated with adenine
