呋喃核糖, Ribofuranose

D-ribofuranose is a ribofuranose having D-configuration. It is a ribofuranose and a D-ribose.

D-Ribose, also known as ribose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. D-Ribose exists as a solid, very soluble (in water), and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). D-Ribose has been found throughout most human tissues, and has also been detected in most biofluids, including blood, urine, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid. D-Ribose exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. D-Ribose can be converted into D-ribose 5-phosphate through its interaction with the enzyme ribokinase. In humans, D-ribose is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. D-Ribose is also involved in a few metabolic disorders, which include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, transaldolase deficiency, and ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency. Outside of the human body, D-ribose can be found in a number of food items such as fruits, other soy product, chinese mustard, and cucurbita (gourd). This makes D-ribose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
