d-Ribulose is the diastereomer of d-xylulose. Ribulose sugars are composed in the pentose phosphate pathway from arabinose. [1] They are important in the formation of many bioactive substances. For example, d-ribulose is an intermediate in the fungal pathway for d-arabitol production. Also, as the 1,5-bisphosphate, d-ribulose combines with ...
In chemistry, a Haworth projection is a common way of writing a structural formula to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. A Haworth projection approximates the shapes of the actual molecules better for furanoses —which are in reality nearly planar—than for pyranoses that exist in ...
Allulose, also known by its systematic name D-ribo-2-hexulose as well as by the name D-psicose, is a monosaccharide and a ketohexose. [ 2 ] [ 11 ] It is a C3 epimer of fructose . [ 2 ] Fructose can be converted to allulose by the enzymes D -tagatose 3-epimerase ( EC 5.1.3.31 ) and/or D -psicose 3-epimerase ( EC 5.1.3.30 ), which has allowed for ...
Haworth drew the ring as a flat hexagon with groups above and below the plane of the ring – the Haworth projection. [ 3 ] A further refinement to the conformation of pyranose rings came when Sponsler and Dore (1926) realized that Sachse's mathematical treatment of six-membered rings could be applied to their X-ray structure of cellulose . [ 3 ]
The anomeric centre in hemiacetals is the anomeric carbon C-1; in hemiketals, it is the carbon derived from the carbonyl of the ketone (e.g. C-2 in D-fructose). In aldohexoses the anomeric reference atom is the stereocenter that is farthest from the anomeric carbon in the ring (the configurational atom, defining the sugar as D or L). For ...

Ribulose-5 phosphate can also be acted upon by phosphopentose epimerase to form xylulose 5-phosphate, which is used in the nonoxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway in humans to generate precursor molecules for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids and production of energy.
