1. The photochemical reaction of adenine in the presence of riboflavin was carried out and its nature was discussed.
2. Hypoxanthine was obtained as a photo-product of this reaction, although yield of the product was extremely low.
3. The rate of degradation of adenine in this reaction was enhanced by the presence of thymine.
