Adenine is a purine. Purines are
six-membered rings attached to
five membered rings. When Adenine
is attached to DNA, it forms a
bond with another molecule called
Thymine, a pyrimidine, on the
other side of the DNA strand. It
is these bonds which give DNA its
double-helix structure. The
sequence of DNA, or the order in
which nucleotides are placed,
allows for the diversity among
all living organisms. The
importance of Adenine to RNA is
similar to that of DNA.
Besides DNA and RNA, Adenine is
also an important part of
adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
Adenosine triphosphate is the
nitrogenous base adenine bonded
to a five carbon sugar. This
molecule is important because it
has the ability to phosphorylize,
or add a phosphate group to,
other molecules. This transfer of
a phosphate group allows energy
to be released. It is this energy
which is used by cells in living
organisms. This is why the
molecules ATP, and its
nitrogenous base Adenine, are so
important.
