Showing Metabocard for beta-D-ribofuranose (BASm0002198)
| Common Name | Beta-d-ribofuranose |
|---|---|
| Description | Beta-D-ribofuranose is the cyclic form of D-ribose. Ribose, primarily occurring as D-ribose, is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature. It is an aldopentose, a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms that in its acyclic form has an aldehyde functional group at one end. Typically, ribose exists in the cyclic form. It comprises the backbone of RNA, a biopolymer that is the basis of genetic transcription. It is related to deoxyribose, as found in DNA, by the removal of one hydroxy group. Once phosphorylated, ribose can become a subunit of ATP, NADH, and several other compounds that are critical to metabolism. |
