Adenine-13C is the 13C labeled Adenine. Adenine (6-Aminopurine), a purine, is one of the four nucleobases found in the nucleic acid of DNA. It serves as a chemical component of both DNA and RNA. Adenine also plays a significant role in biochemistry, specifically in cellular respiration, forming both ATP and cofactors like NAD and FAD, and in protein synthesis.
- Isotope labeled for use as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by techniques such as NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Stable heavy isotopes are incorporated into drug molecules for quantitation during drug development.
