Description
D-Ribose, 99.0%+ is a high purity naturally occurring pentose sugar for biochemical, metabolic, and molecular biology research. It serves as a precursor to D-ribose 5-phosphate, supporting studies of nucleotide biosynthesis and cellular metabolism.
D-Ribose is an aldopentose monosaccharide. It is phosphorylated into D-ribose 5-phosphate by ribokinase and then supports the synthesis of tryptophan and histidine. Additionally, D-ribose 5-phosphate is part of the pentose phosphate pathway. D-Ribose may be used as a cell culture media supplement.
