\"Adenine\"The adenine<\/strong> is one of the components of the ribonucleic acid<\/strong> (RNA<\/strong>) and deoxyribonucleic acid<\/strong> (DNA<\/strong>). This substance is a nitrogen base<\/strong>, whose symbol is TO<\/strong> in the genetic code.<\/p>\n

The formula<\/strong> of adenine, which is derived from purine<\/strong>, it is C5H5N5<\/strong>. It is a component of the nucleic acid chains that is in the nucleotides<\/strong>, like the rest of the nitrogenous bases of the RNA<\/strong> and from RNA<\/strong> (the uracil<\/strong>, the thymine<\/strong>, the cytokine<\/strong> and the guanine<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

A nucleotide is made up of a sugar<\/strong> with five carbons, a Phosphate group<\/strong> and a nitrogenous base. These bases, in the DNA<\/strong>, are coupled to each other to form the ladder structure that characterizes the double helix of this nucleic acid. In the case of adenine, it is always coupled to thymine because both nitrogenous bases have chemical affinity.<\/p>\n

Adenine and thymine were found by Albrecht kossel<\/strong>, a chemist of German origin who made the discovery in 1885<\/strong>. From then on, knowledge about these bases<\/strong> they multiplied.<\/p>\n

It is important to mention that, in ancient times, adenine was known as B4<\/strong>, since it was included in the vitamin complex B<\/strong>. However, with the weather<\/strong> Scientists reached a consensus that adenine was not actually a vitamin.<\/p>\n

In recent decades, scientists began to analyze adenine in their studies on the origin of life<\/strong> on our planet. There are even studies that argue that the RNA<\/strong> and the DNA<\/strong> could have reached the Land<\/strong> in meteorites from space<\/strong> Exterior.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons that this component is in the middle of such investigations is that the two acids mentioned above, RNA and DNA, transport information<\/strong> genetics of great importance about living beings<\/strong>, partly because it is unique and unrepeatable.<\/p>\n

A compound capable of acting as a coenzyme for other vitamins is derived from adenine, and it is especially known because of the speed with which it works when it is dedicated to producing Energy<\/strong> in our body. For this reason, it is very beneficial to ingest adenine (which in many cases we still find under the name of vitamin B4<\/em>) as part of our normal diet.<\/p>\n

\"Adenine\"To know if we are going through a case of deficiency of this component, we can take a look at the most common symptoms: constipation, skin disorders, reduced growth rate, blood problems, insulin sensitivity, hypoglycemia, anemia, appearance of various allergies, vertigo, fatigue above normal levels, increased propensity to contract diseases and infections due to a weakening of the immune system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Regarding the natural sources of adenine, it is known that it is a component that our body synthesizes through certain foods, so it is not very common to find it as a supplement. Where this vitamin does appear is in medicinal plants<\/strong> such as cohosh, cayenne, thyme, sarsaparilla, rose hip, seaweed, hops, goldenseal, grass, catnip, caraway, burdock, holy thistle, and ginger, among many.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, adenine is also present in some food<\/strong>, such as cassava, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables in general, and yeast.<\/p>\n

Among the benefits of adenine for our body is the fact that it promotes the generation of white blood cells<\/strong>. In addition, we must not forget that it is a derivative of the purine<\/strong>, an essential element to synthesize proteins properly and to carry out several of their chemical processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
