:5-Deoxy-L-ribose
Description:
5-Deoxy-L-ribose is a naturally occurring sugar and a derivative of ribose, characterized by the absence of an oxygen atom at the 5th carbon position. This pentose sugar is a crucial component in various biochemical processes, particularly in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. It plays a significant role in the metabolism of certain organisms and is involved in the production of certain coenzymes. The molecular formula of 5-deoxy-L-ribose is C5H10O4, and it typically exists in a cyclic form, which is common for sugars. Its structure allows it to participate in various biochemical reactions, including those related to energy transfer and storage. Additionally, 5-deoxy-L-ribose has potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents, due to its role in cellular metabolism. Its properties, such as solubility in water and stability under physiological conditions, make it a subject of interest in both research and therapeutic contexts.

5-Deoxy-L-ribose
CAS:<p>5-Deoxy-L-ribose is found in a variety of organisms, including humans. It is stereoselective, with the (-) form being more common than the (+) form. 5-Deoxy-L-ribose is synthesized by the glycosidic bond between l-arabinose and D-ribose. This compound is an inexpensive way to produce 5-deoxy analogs of other sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and mannose. The biosynthesis of 5-deoxy-L-ribose relies on a molybdenum cofactor and involves oxidation of L-arabinonate by aldehyde oxidase to give L-xylulose. Lactate dehydrogenase converts this into D-xylulose. Dihydroorotate reductase then reduces this to give D-(+)-5--deoxy--D--erythro--pentitol phosphate, which cycl</p>Formula:C5H10O4Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Slightly Yellow Clear LiquidMolecular weight:134.13 g/mol
