D-Ribofuranose

Description:
D-Ribofuranose, with the CAS number 613-83-2, is a naturally occurring sugar and a pentose monosaccharide, specifically a form of ribose. It is characterized by its five-carbon structure, which includes four hydroxyl (–OH) groups and one aldehyde group, making it an aldopentose. D-Ribofuranose exists predominantly in a cyclic furanose form, which is a five-membered ring, although it can also exist in an open-chain form. This sugar plays a crucial role in biochemistry, particularly as a component of RNA (ribonucleic acid), where it forms the backbone of the nucleic acid structure. D-Ribofuranose is also involved in various metabolic pathways, including the pentose phosphate pathway, which is essential for nucleotide synthesis and cellular respiration. Its solubility in water and sweet taste are typical characteristics of sugars. Additionally, D-ribose is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in energy metabolism and cardiovascular health.
