Identification
Name: Ribose
Description:Ribose is a pentose that is actively used in many biological systems usually in its D-form. Ribose constitutes the backbone of RNA, a biopolymer that is the basis of genetic transcription. It is related to deoxyribose, as found in DNA. Once phosphorylated, ribose can become a subunit of ATP, NADH, and several other compounds that are critical to metabolism like the secondary messengers cAMP and cGMP. In cells D-ribose must be phosphorylated before it can be used. Ribokinase catalyzes this reaction by converting D-ribose to D-ribose 5-phosphate.
