Linked from

The 25 pages that link to Ribose, each with the reason it gives.

• NucleotideRelated: Its presence marks RNA nucleotides and distinguishes them from DNA building blocks.

• RNARelated: Its hydroxyl group distinguishes RNA’s sugar backbone from DNA’s.

• Nucleic acidRelated: Ribose is the sugar in RNA's nucleotide backbone.

• AdenosineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar component of adenosine.

• MonosaccharideBroader topic: Its sugar framework is part of RNA and molecules that transfer cellular energy.

• NucleobaseRelated: Ribose attaches to RNA bases and distinguishes RNA nucleosides from DNA nucleosides.

• NucleosideRelated: Bonded to a base, it forms ribonucleosides such as adenosine.

• Phosphodiester bondRelated: Its 3′ and 5′ hydroxyl groups participate in the RNA backbone linkage.

• Adenosine diphosphateBroader topic: This sugar links ADP’s adenine base to its phosphate groups.

• AdenineRelated: Adenine attaches to ribose in adenosine and RNA nucleotides.

• AldoseBroader topic: Ribose shows how an aldose forms the sugar backbone of RNA.

• DeoxyriboseCompared with: Ribose has one more oxygen atom than deoxyribose at the 2′ carbon.

• Emil FischerBroader topic: His investigations of sugars included work on pentoses such as ribose.

• Adenosine monophosphateBroader topic: Ribose connects adenine to AMP’s phosphate group.

• GuanosineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar portion of guanosine.

• Guanosine triphosphateRelated: Ribose links guanine to GTP’s phosphate chain.

• GlyceraldehydeRelated: Its additional stereogenic centers show how larger aldoses build on simple sugar configurations.

• Guanosine diphosphateBroader topic: GDP’s guanine base attaches to this sugar.

• Guanosine monophosphateBroader topic: Ribose links guanine to phosphate in the ribonucleotide structure.

• ErythroseCompared with: Ribose has one more carbon than erythrose and serves different structural roles.

• CytidineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar portion of cytidine.

• UridineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar portion of uridine.

• InosineBroader topic: It forms the sugar component of inosine.

• ThreoseCompared with: Ribose is a familiar larger aldose, unlike threose’s four-carbon backbone.

• RhamnoseCompared with: Ribose is a common pentose, unlike rhamnose, which has six carbons and lacks oxygen at carbon 6.
