Ribose is a
simple sugar and
carbohydrate with
molecular formula C5H10O5 and the linear-form
composition H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H. The
naturally occurring form...
- sugar-phosphate "backbone" of DNA
contains deoxyribose, RNA
contains ribose instead.
Ribose has a
hydroxyl group attached to the
pentose ring in the 2' position...
-
indicates that it is a
deoxy sugar,
meaning that it is
derived from the
sugar ribose by loss of a
hydroxy group.
Discovered in 1929 by
Phoebus Levene, deoxyribose...
- ADP-ribosylation is the
addition of one or more ADP-
ribose moieties to a protein. It is a
reversible post-translational
modification that is
involved in...
- Poly (ADP-
ribose)
polymerase (PARP) is a
family of
proteins involved in a
number of
cellular processes such as DNA repair,
genomic stability, and programmed...

Ribose-5-phosphate
isomerase deficiency (RPID) is a rare
human disorder caused by
mutations in
ribose-5-phosphate isomerase, an
enzyme of the pentose...
-
composed of
three subunit molecules: a nucleobase, a five-carbon
sugar (
ribose or deoxyribose), and a
phosphate group consisting of one to
three phosphates...
-
Ribose 5-phosphate (R5P) is both a
product and an
intermediate of the
pentose phosphate pathway. The last step of the
oxidative reactions in the pentose...
-
nucleosides each
contain a
ribose ring, one with
adenine attached to the
first carbon atom (the 1' position) (adenosine
diphosphate ribose) and the
other with...
-
molecular weight is 150.13 g/mol.
Pentoses are very
important in biochemistry.
Ribose is a
constituent of RNA, and the
related molecule, deoxyribose, is a constituent...
