Talk: Adenine

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Adenine is a chemical with the empirical formula C5 H5 N5. This diagram is incorrect and needs to be fixed before putting back into article

This structure is incorrect. There should not be a double bond to the extracyclic amino group, but rather to the N in the ring (unless we want a bizarre resonance structure, but in that case we would need charges on the nitrogens).

I've removed the structure because, as I pointed out eight months ago, it is incorrect. Josh Cherry 14:09, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

So, I assume that you'll be uploading a corrected image, real soon now? ;-) Lexor|Talk 23:51, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is this a real vitamin or not? I assume it's not: It's not listed on the vitamin page, and that page is quite explicit that there are only thirteen recognized (human) vitamins. But this page is also listed under category:vitamins.
