Application

L-Ribulose has been used as a substrate in L-arabinose isomerase activity assay[1] and in ribulokinase activity assay.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Ribulose is produced from L-ribose by microbial enzymes.[3] 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.

A newly isolated bacterium, Cellulomonas parahominis MB426, produced l-ribose isomerase (CeLRI) on a medium containing l-ribose as a sole carbon source. A 32 kDa protein isomerizing l-ribose to l-ribulose was purified to homogeneity from this bacterium. A set of degenerated

Metabolomics is a rapidly growing branch of post-genomic chemical biology. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an excellent eukaryotic model organism. Although the entire S. pombe genome has been sequenced and detailed transcriptomic analyses were performed, little metabolic profiling has

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.
