General description
A cell permeable adenine analog that is widely used as a versatile fluorescent probe to investigate RNA and DNA secondary and tertiary structures and their conformation dynamics in response to local environment when interacting with other biomolecules with great sensitivity. Forms stable base pairs with neucleobase uracil found in RNA and thymine in DNA, and moderately stable base pairs with cytosine. Exhibits intensive fluorescence emission (lAbsmax = 303 nM, lflmax = 370 nM, and fluorescence quantum yield in solution QFI = 0.68) and longer excitation wavelength compared with other neucleobases enabling its selective excitation with low background signals.
Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is batch-specific due to variable water content.

2-Aminopurine (2AP) is a fluorescent analog of guanosine and adenosine and has been used to probe nucleic acid structure and dynamics. Its spectral features in nucleic acids have been interpreted phenomenologically, in the absence of a rigorous electronic description of

We have observed the conformation-dependent electronic coupling between the monomeric subunits of a dinucleotide of 2-aminopurine (2-AP), a fluorescent analog of the nucleic acid base adenine. This was accomplished by extending two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (2D FS) - a fluorescence-detected variation
