Pterine has been used:

• in photochemicals assay for inducing DNA damage
• as a substrate in xanthine oxidase assay
• as a standard in thin layer chromatography (TLC) for quantifying pterine from microbes

Pterine consists of pyrazine and pyrimidine with substitutions in keto and amino group. Pterine is present in all organisms including cyanobacteria. It acts as a cofactor for redox enzymes and serves as a precursor for folic acid synthesis. Pterine from the butterfly wings absorb light and elicit incoherent scattering. Pterine induces alterations in DNA by hydroxylation of deoxyguanosine.
