Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Ribulose
DescriptionD-Ribulose, also known as D-arabinoketose or D-rul, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. D-Ribulose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). D-Ribulose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
