D-ribose

D-ribose (D-ribose) is an important five-carbon monosaccharide, chemical formula C5H10O5. It is an important constituent of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and ATP and plays an important role in the formation of life.

D-ribose is a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms. It is a very important pentaldose. It has α and β types and exists in most organisms in the form of pentosan or glycoside. D-ribose is an important component of RNA, a genetic material in living organisms. It plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of nucleosides, proteins and fats, and has important physiological functions and broad application prospects. As a natural component of memory in all cells, D-ribose is closely related to the formation of adenosine and the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and is one of the most basic energy sources of life metabolism. It plays a key role in heart and skeletal muscle metabolism and can promote the recovery of ischemic tissue and local hypoxia tissue.

Application:

Ribose is a carbohydrate with the formula C5H10O5; specifically, it is a pentose monosaccharide (simple sugar) with linear form H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H, which has all the hydroxyl groups on the same side in the Fischer projection.
The term may refer to either of two enantiomers. The term usually indicates D-ribose, which occurs widely in nature and is discussed here. Its synthetic mirror image, L-ribose, is not found in nature.
D-Ribose was first reported in 1891 by Emil Fischer. It is a C'-2 carbon epimer of the sugar D-arabinose (both isomers of which are named for their source, gum arabic) and ribose itself is named as a partial rearrangement of letters in the word 'arabinose'.
The ribose β-D-ribofuranose forms part of the backbone of RNA. It is related to deoxyribose, which is found in DNA.Phosphorylated derivatives of ribose such as ATP and NADH play central roles in metabolism. cAMP and cGMP, formed from ATP and GTP, serve as secondary messengers in some signalling pathways.
