Chemical Information
NamePurine
DescriptionA purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, consisting of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. Purines, including substituted purines and their tautomers, are the most widely distributed kind of nitrogen-containing heterocycle in nature. Purine is found in many foods, some of which are triticale, chickpea, japanese persimmon, and wild carrot.
