A compound that is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids. A purine derivative, it is paired with thymine in double-stranded DNA,
  1. A compound that is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids. A purine derivative, it is paired with thymine in double-stranded DNA

  1. (biochemistry) purine base found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA
  2. Adenine is a nucleobase (a purine derivative) 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 ...
  3. Adenine, named after the nucleic acid adenine, is a script language, which is developed in the context of the Haystack project and the Oxygen project of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in collaboration with NTT.
  4. A component of DNA that carries genetic information to the cell.
  5. A purine base that is a component of nucleotides and thus a normal component of DNA and RNA. See the Figure at NHGRI.
  6. One of the four nitrogen-containing bases occurring in nucleotides, the building blocks of the organic macromolecule group known as nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Adenine is also the base in the energy carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy coin of the cell. PICTURE
  7. 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. ...
  8. One of the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA. This base pairs with thymine.
  9. One of the four types of base that spells out our DNA code. When a base is attached to a phosphate and sugar, it makes up a nucleotide, one of DNA's 'building blocks'. In the double-helical structure of DNA, A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine). A is also present in RNA. ...
  10. A purine base found in DNA and RNA
  11. A chemical that is a basic structural unit of a living thing's DNA. It is one of 4 key bases or nucleotides (cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T)) that repeat throughout the length of a DNA chain. In groups or sequences they form genes. ...
  12. one of the four base building blocks of DNA. In double–stranded DNA, adenine (A) always pairs with, or is complemented with, thymine (T), to form a base pair.
  13. One of four bases that are chemical components of DNA.
  14. (C5H5N5; f.w. 135.14) (symbol: A)  A white crystalline purine base. A constituent of DNA and RNA and nucleotides such as ADP and ATP. A B-group vitamin (B4) generally available as C5H5N5.3H2O, m.w. 189.13. ...
  15. one of the four bases in the nucleotides of DNA, commonly denoted by the letter “A.”
  16. A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair A-T (adenine-thymine).
  17. A major purine base; in animal and plant cells it usually occurs condensed with ribose or deoxyribose to form the nucleosides adenosine and deoxyadenosine. As such, it is a component of nucleic acids, of certain nucleotides, and of many coenzymes. Symbol A. ...
  18. One of the four bases in DNA that make up the letters ATGC, adenine is the "A".  The others are “G” for guanine, “C” for cytosine, and “T” for thymine.  Adenine always pairs with thymine.  Cytosine always pairs with guanine. ...
  19. one of the purine bases found in nucleic acids, C5H5N5
