Adenine Sulfate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

Adenine hemisulfate salt has been used as a component of:
complete supplement mixture (CSM)
yeast extract with supplements (YES) medium for culturing S. pombe strain
synthetic complete glucose-based yeast media (SC) for S. cerevisiae cultures

Uses

Adenine Sulfate has a wide range of chemical and biochemical roles in vivo and in vitro employing as a regulatory molecule. It acts as a precursor, substrate, or cofactor in diverse biochemical pathways.

Application

Adenine may be utilized as an additive in plant cell culture. When added to the culture media, such as Murashige & Skoog media, Adenine Sulphate at a concentration of 25mg/L enhances the frequency of multiple shoot production and alleviates chlorotic symptoms of the leaves. This product is suitable for plant tissue culture, as it does not result in any observed structural deformities, toxicity, or necrotic tissues in actively growing shoots or calluses. The recommended culture conditions include an incubation period of 5 weeks, a relative humidity of 60±2%, a temperature of 25±2oC, and a photoperiod of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness.

General Description

Adenine hemisulfate salt is used as a component of minimal medium and yeast extract dextrose, peptone and adenine (YPAD) medium component for culturing yeast.

Biological Activity

Adenine is a purine derivative and a nucleobase 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 synthesis, as a chemical component of DNA and RNA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenine is a purine nucleobase with a wide range of chemical and biochemical roles in vivo and in vitro. It is a regulatory molecule and a component of DNA, RNA, cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and signaling molecules (cAMP).
