Adenine (hemisulfate) (Standard)

Adenine (hemisulfate) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Adenine (hemisulfate) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Adenine hemisulfate (6-Aminopurine hemisulfate), a purine, is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA. Adenine hemisulfate acts as a chemical component of DNA and RNA. Adenine hemisulfate also plays an important role in biochemistry involved in cellular respiration, the form of both ATP and the cofactors (NAD and FAD), and protein synthesis[1][2].
