Adenine Sulfate

Description :

It acts by blocking hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNA induced by release factors and inhibits peptide bond formation. It is used to select transfected cells carrying bsr or BSD resistance genes.
Chemical Formula: C5H5N5O4S
Molecular Weight: Approximately 185.19 g/mol
Appearance: Typically appears as a white or off-white powder.
Adenine Analog: As an adenine derivative, adenine sulfate may be used in biochemical research to study its interactions with nucleic acids or to understand the role of adenine in various biological processes.
Nutrient Supplement: Adenine sulfate might be used in cell culture media as a nutrient to support the growth and maintenance of cells, especially those that require additional adenine.
Potential Therapeutic Uses: Although not commonly used as a pharmaceutical agent, its role in adenine metabolism or cellular processes could be of interest in developing new therapies or understanding metabolic disorders.
General Safety: Adenine sulfate is generally considered to be safe when used appropriately, especially in controlled laboratory settings or as part of cell culture media.
Stability: Stability can vary based on the conditions of storage and the presence of other substances. It is generally stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its integrity.
