Description:
D-ribose is a C'-2 carbon enantiomer of the sugar D-arabinose (both isomers of which are named for their source, gum arabic) and ribose itself is named as a transposition of the name of arabinose.
D-ribose is a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms. It is an important pentanalose. It has both alpha and beta forms.
D- ribose is an important component of ribonucleic acid (RNA), the genetic material in organisms. It plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of nucleoside substances, proteins and fats, and has important physiological functions and broad application prospects. D-ribose is a natural component in all cells, which is closely related to the formation of adenosine and the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and is one of the most basic energy sources of life metabolism. It plays a key role in the metabolism of heart and bone collaterals, and can promote the recovery of ischemic tissue and hypoxic tissue.
Nucleic acid drugs is an important means to treatment, tumor, AIDS virus, D - ribose is one of the important intermediate of many nucleic acid drugs, can be used to nucleoside, adenosine, thymidine, cytidine and fluorine pyrimidine nucleoside, 2 - methyl adenosine, wei he toxins, pyrazole toxins, in the production of adenosine denier glycine and many other drugs.
