Adenine hemisulfate (6-Aminopurine hemisulfate) is a purine, one of the four nucleobases found in the nucleic acid of DNA. It functions as a chemical component of both DNA and RNA and plays a significant role in biochemistry related to cellular respiration, forming ATP and cofactors like NAD and FAD, and protein synthesis.
