Adenine is a see also of purine.
As nouns the difference between adenine and purine
is that adenine is (biochemistry|genetics) a base, c5h5n5, found in certain glands and tissues, which pairs with thymine in dna and uracil in rna while purine is (chemistry) any of a class of organic heterocyclic base containing fused pyrimidine and imidazole rings; they are components of nucleic acids.adenine

- One of these labels is ethenoadenine, which is obtained by chemical modification of adenine .

- There are two genes in the adenine' biosynthetic pathway of yeast (''ADE1'' and ''ADE2'') that, apart from producing an absolute requirement for ' adenine when mutant, also produce a change in colony color.
page 202,
- The HCN pentamer, adenine (a constituent of DNA, RNA and many coenzymes), is one of the most abundant biochemical molecules.
purine

(en noun)page 67,
- Clifford et al.'' (1976) investigated the metabolism of individual purines''' and found that adenine, and to a lesser extent hypoxanthine, had pronounced effects on blood uric acid levels. The ' purine content of foods, in particular adenine, would therefore be of immense nutritional significance.

- For example, for purine'-pyrimidine and for pyrimidine-'''purine''' base steps the presence of ' purines on opposite strands in successive base pairs sterically restricts the conformations that these base pairs can adopt relative to each other.

- The discovery that certain pyrazolopyrimidine nucleobases and nucleosides, analogs of naturally occurring purines', are toxic to ''Leishmania'', coupled with the obligatory nature of the leishmanial '''purine''' salvage pathway, has spawned considerable interest in the ' purine salvage pathway as a drug target.
