Removed from the article[edit]

I have removed the following statement from the article:

2,6-diaminopurine in the solvent dimethylformamide @ 100°C for 10 hours gives the chemical 9-(22-diethoxy-ethyl)9H-purine-2,6-diamine @ 60% yield

I do not believe that it can be accurate as written. Something is clearly missing (where do the ethyl groups come from?) It needs a reference. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:12, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Research[edit]

Can someone add latest research that finds other cases where Diaminopurine replaces adenine in the genome? https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/some-viruses-use-an-alternative-genetic-alphabet-68726
