No, adenine is a component of nucleic acids, but isn't a nucleic acid itself.
RNA is a nucleic acid. Ribonucleic acid to be more specific.. I believe the question you are asking is "what are the 4 bases used in RNA?" In which case the answer is Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine.
The nitrogenous base units of a nucleic acid are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. (in Dna) in RNA Thymine is replaced with Uracil. These base pair are often abreviated to A,C,T,G, and U. Adenine will always pair with Thymine. Cytosine will always pair with guanine.
If you are inquiring about the decontamination of nucleic acid amplification reactions USING uracil (UDG), you should find this article interesting... http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5536649/description.html Very compelling. * A nucleic acid that contains uracil must be RNA, not DNA.
The composition of the nucleic acid-DNA includes polynucleotides which are composed of guanine, adenine, thymine, cytosine, a phosphate group, and deoxyribose (a monosaccharide sugar).
Adenine bonds with thymine, and cytosine bonds with guanine in a double stranded nucleic acid molecule. This pairing is referred to as complementary base pairing in DNA.
Adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine
deoxyribose nucleic ACID or do you mean like guanine cytosine thymine ADENINE?

Nucleic acids are made from nucleotides. The nucleotides are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. They make up DNA, which is a nucleic acid.
The three subunits of nucleic acid are a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (such as ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil).
The simplest unit of Nucleic Acid is dependent on the variable you are inferring, such as deoxyribose or nucleotides.
An alien nucleic acid is an acid composed of bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, uracil and cytosine and/or sugars other than ribose and deoxyribose - thought to be a clue as to the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Its joined to the nucleic acid Adenine. A quick way(but weird way) to memorize the nucleic acids is AT GrandCanyon. Grand- Guanine, Canyon-Cytosine and A-Adenine, T-Thymine. Later you will learn about U-Uracil and how it matches Adenine, so here is the little head start.

The nitrogen base that pairs with thymine is adenine.
