Application
Adonitol (Ribitol), a pentose alcohol, is metabolized to teicholic acids used in the cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Adonitol is often compared to other cell permeating molecules such as formamide, propanediol, and DMSO as a cryopreservation agent.

Dystroglycanopathy, a subgroup of muscular dystrophies, is characterized by hypoglycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG), which reduces its laminin-binding activity to extracellular matrix proteins, causing progressive loss of muscle integrity and function. Mutations in the fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene are the most
