Description

D-Ribulose 5-phosphate disodium salt is an ion source that can be used in chemical ionization, a technique that uses the energy of ions to produce ions of the analyte. This compound is used to measure the activity of ribose phosphatase and pentose phosphate pathway enzymes. D-Ribulose 5-phosphate disodium salt has been shown to improve colorimetric detection. It is also used as a molecular ion source and electron ionization in mass spectrometry. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is one of the most important pathways for anaerobic metabolism, converting glucose into organic acids including pyruvate, which can then be converted into acetyl-CoA for use in cellular respiration. D-Ribulose 5-phosphate disodium salt provides a key intermediate for this pathway by converting ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate into ribulose 5-phosph
