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.

• 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.

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

• 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.

• CytidineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar portion of cytidine.

• UridineRelated: Ribose supplies the sugar portion of uridine.
