  <name>beta-D-ribofuranose</name>
  <description>Beta-D-ribofuranose is the cyclic form of D-ribose. Ribose, primarily occurring as D-ribose, is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature. It is an aldopentose, a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms that in its acyclic form has an aldehyde functional group at one end. Typically, ribose exists in the cyclic form. It comprises the backbone of RNA, a biopolymer that is the basis of genetic transcription. It is related to deoxyribose, as found in DNA, by the removal of one hydroxy group. Once phosphorylated, ribose can become a subunit of ATP, NADH, and several other compounds that are critical to metabolism.</description>

      <name>adenine and adenosine salvage III</name>
      <description>Adenosine is first incorporated into the cytosol through either a nupG or a nupC transporter. Once in the cytosol, adenosine is degraded into adenine by reacting with a water and a adenosine nucleosidase, releasing a D-ribofuranose and a adenine. The adenine then reacts with a PRPP through a adenine phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and an AMP</description>

      <name>Ribose Degradation</name>
      <description>D-ribose, which can serve as a total source of carbon and energy for E. coli, enters the cell via a high-affinity ABC transport system and hence in unphosphorylated form. The crystal structure of the periplasmic ribose binding protein of the ribose ABC transporter showed it to bind (and thus presumably to facilitate transport of) β-D-ribopyranose. ribose pyranase accelerates the conversion between the pyranose and furanose forms of β-D-ribose. Interconversion of the α- and β-anomers of D-ribofuranose is fast and spontaneous. ribokinase then converts it to D-ribose 5-phosphate, an intermediate of the pentose phosphate pathway, and hence it flows through the pathways of central metabolism to satisfy the cell's need for precursor metabolites, reducing power, and metabolic energy.
