Adenine is one of the precursors of DNA and RNA nucleotides along with Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, and Uracil.
It is a purine nitrogenous base that consists of fused 5- and 6-member rings of Carbon and Nitrogen atoms.
In DNA, the complementary base pair of Adenine is Thymine, while Uracil pairs with Adenine in RNA.
