Application

L-Ribulose has been used as a substrate in L-arabinose isomerase activity assay[1] and in ribulokinase activity assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Ribulose is produced from L-ribose by microbial enzymes. L-Ribulose is a rare sugar and a precursor for antiviral drugs synthesis. Major industrial production of L-ribulose is by the use of L-arabinose isomerase enzyme.[1]

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Questions

  1. What does 'C = 0.1 in H2O' mean? What is the unit of 'c'

    1 answer
    1. The 'c', listed in the optical activity of the Property section, designates the concentration at which the value was determined - in this case, at a concentration of 0.1% (by mass) in water.
