Description

Methyl b-D-ribofuranoside is a compound that has been found to be a substrate for the phosphodiesterase enzyme. This natural product can be used to study the function of this enzyme and its effect on cellular processes. The rate of hydrolysis at 25 degrees Celsius is about 0.03 min-1, which is about one order of magnitude faster than the rate at 37 degrees Celsius, which is about 0.003 min-1. In addition, methyl b-D-ribofuranoside hydrolyzes more rapidly in anaerobic conditions than in aerobic conditions. It also has a constant sedimentation coefficient of 1.10 ± 0.01 Svedbergs, which indicates that it consists of long unbranched chains with a high molecular weight (e.g., dodecyl). Methyl b-D-ribofuranoside has been found to inhibit intramolecular hydrogen transfer reactions, such as those catalyzed
