Definition
Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate, also known as paps or 3'-phosphonato-5'-adenylyl sulfate, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine ribonucleoside 3',5'-bisphosphates. Purine ribonucleoside 3',5'-bisphosphates are purine ribobucleotides with one phosphate group attached to 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of the ribose moiety. Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate can be found in a number of food items such as cloves, abiyuch, cocoa bean, and jute, which makes phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle.
