Analysis of the metabolite markers of azathioprine (AZA) and mercaptopurine (6-MP), including 6-methyl-mercaptopurine ribonucleotides (6-MMRP) and 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN), is considered investigational.
Though the temperature of the inner core of the Earth is about 5700 degrees, (about as hot as the surface of the Sun) the pressure is also very high, about 3.3 - 3.6 million aâ¦tmospheres. At these pressures the material is solid, as has been confirmed in lab tests.
Having a good estimate of the temperature at the interface between the inner and outer core is a major step in determining the temperature everywhere in the Earth's core. The reproduction of extremely high pressures and temperatures created by this experiment allows us to see phenomena otherwise invisible, far far below us.
