Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Ribulose is a metabolite in pentose and glucuronate interconversions. It plays a role in the D-arabitol production from U. fabae. Ribulose is a rare aldopentose that might show antitumoral and antiviral activities. It acts as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)-dependent D-arabitol dehydrogenase (ARD1p) enzyme and D-tagatose-3-epimerase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Its monophosphate D-ribulose 5-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway of glycolysis. D-Ribulose may be found in plants like algae, sugar beet leaves, and barley seed leaves.

D-Arabinose isomerase catalyzes the isomerization of D-arabinose to D-ribulose. Bacillus pallidus D-arabinose isomerase has broad substrate specificity and can catalyze the isomerization of D-arabinose, L-fucose, L-xylose, L-galactose and D-altrose. Recombinant B. pallidus D-arabinose isomerase was overexpressed, purified and crystallized. A
