D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate

{[(3R,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxo-5-(phosphonooxy)pentyl]oxy}phosphonic acid

C5H12O11P2 (309.9855)


D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, also known as ribulose-1,5-diphosphoric acid or ribulose-1,5 diphosphate, (D)-isomer, is a member of the class of compounds known as pentose phosphates. Pentose phosphates are carbohydrate derivatives containing a pentose substituted by one or more phosphate groups. D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate can be found in a number of food items such as bamboo shoots, bog bilberry, chestnut, and other cereal product, which makes D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate may be a unique E.coli metabolite. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is an organic substance that is involved in photosynthesis. It is a colourless anion, a double phosphate ester of the ketopentose (ketone-containing sugar with five carbon atoms) called ribulose. Salts of RuBP can be isolated, but its crucial biological function happens in solution. To simplify the presentation, the image in the above table depicts the acid form of this anion . KEIO_ID R005
