N 6 , N 6 -Dimethyladenine ( 6-dimethylaminopurine ) is a heterocyclic organic compound with a purine backbone. It is a derivative of the nucleobase adenine , which isdoubly methylated at the amino group . It occurs as a component of the nucleoside N 6 , N 6 -dimethyladenosine (m 6 2 G) in the rRNA . It is also a hydrolysis product of puromycin .
Further dimethylated nucleobases are N 2 , N 2 -dimethylguanine and N 4 , N 4 -dimethylcytosine .
