The furthest carbonyl group away from the aldehyde (at the top) is facing right. A right facing carbonyl group is called D.

What is the name of the sugar acid produced when D-ribose is oxidized?

The sugar acid produced when D-ribose is oxidized is called ribonic acid. It is formed through the oxidation of D-ribose, which involves the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen atoms from the sugar molecule.


Oxidation product of d-ribose?

The oxidation product of d-ribose is ribonate, which is a keto sugar formed by the oxidation of the aldehyde group in d-ribose. This process involves the conversion of the primary alcohol group in d-ribose to a carboxylic acid group. Ribonate is not commonly found in biological systems, as d-ribose is primarily used as an important component in nucleic acids.


What is the specific rotation of d-ribose?

What is the role of D Ribose in nutrition?

D Ribose helps manufacture amino acids and histidine which then helps food to be digested in the small intestines and aids the absorption of nutrients.


The five-carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides is called ribose?

No it's called a De-oxyribose suagr, as in DNA there is one less oxygen atom than in an RNA ribose. So for RNA it's ribose, for DNA it's De-oxyribose


Is d ribose good for weight loss?

D ribose is not specifically marketed for weight loss. However, it will give a person the extra energy needed to make sure they get a good workout.


Nucleotides contain which sugars?

DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)


Would you find a five carbon sugar or a six carbon sugar in a nucleic acid?

I'm pretty sugar it's 5. And it can be either deoxyribose or just ribose. The ribose stands forthe "R'" in RNA (ribose nucleic acid) and deoxyribose stands for the "D" in DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). If these had 6 that would make it something like glucose or galatose.
