Product Information

• Name: D-Ribulose-5-phosphate sodium
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: D-ribulose-5-phosphate sodium is a nucleotide sugar that is one of the ribonucleotides, which are fundamental components of RNA. D-ribulose 5-phosphate sodium has been shown to be an intermediate in the metabolism of ribulose and catalyzes the oxidation of d-arabinose. This enzyme also catalyses the synthesis of fatty acids and participates in reactions involving glycerolipids and phospholipids. The reaction mechanism involves a double displacement with simultaneous attack by a water molecule on C2' and C3'. When deuterium is present, it affects the rate of these reactions in a way that depends on the orientation of the substrate to the enzyme.
