Identification
Name:L-Ribulose
DescriptionRibulose is a ketopentose- a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including a ketone functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5. Two diastereomers are possible, D-ribulose (D-erythro-pentulose) and L-ribulose (L-erythro-pentulose). D-ribulose is an intermediate in the fungal pathway for D-arabitol production.
