DescriptionPurines are heterocyclic aromatic compounds consisting of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. The two nucleic acid bases adenine and guanine are purines. Aside from DNA and RNA, purines are biochemically significant components in a number of other important biomolecules, such as ATP, GTP, cyclic AMP, NADH, and coenzyme A. Other notable purines are hypoxanthine, xanthine, theobromine, caffeine, uric acid and isoguanine. Purine itself, has not been found in nature, but it can be produced by organic synthesis.
