Adenine sulphate has a wide range of applications in biological and chemical industries. It binds to thymine in DNA, and uracil in RNA, to stabilise the nucleic acids. Adenine is suitable for use as a component of boron-deficient media to grow yeast in order to determine whether yeast growth is stimulated by boron. They are also utilized as a food supplement for adult rats to investigate the effects of dietary adenine overload. Adenine is also incorporated in various microbiological media to detect auxotrophs such as in CSM formulations. This reagent is ideal for the synthesis of various compound in industrial processes, and is furthermore widely used in research applications.
