Description

D-Ribulose is a type of sugar that belongs to the carbohydrate family. It is not metabolized by humans and is used as an energy source by certain bacteria. D-Ribulose is a substrate for bacterial xylitol dehydrogenase, which produces the intermediate xylitol. This product can be used in probiotic bacteria or as an antioxidant compound in biological samples such as coli k-12. D-Ribulose also has conformational properties that are different from other sugars, which may be due to its lack of hydroxyl groups on the ring. The reaction mechanism for this product has been identified and involves hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ribitol dehydrogenase to produce ribulose and hydrogen gas.
