Cordyceps fungi produce cordycepin as a means of infecting insect populations, due to its biological activity. [4] Because cordycepin is similar to adenosine, some enzymes cannot discriminate between the two. It can therefore participate in certain biochemical reactions (for example, 3-dA can trigger the premature termination of mRNA synthesis).
