ChEBI: The parent compound of the 2-aminopurines, comprising a purine core carrying an amino substituent at the 2-position.
2-Aminopurine (2AP) is an analog of guanosine and adenosine, which can base pair with cytosine and thymine. It is used as a fluorescent probe in nucleic acid structure and dynamics. 2-Aminopurine (2-AP) inhibits double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase R (PKR).
Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
