Introduction
guidelines
Ribulose is a ketopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including a ketone functional group. D-ribulose is an intermediate in the fungal pathway for D-arabitol production. As the 1,5-bisphosphate, it combines with CO2 at the start of the photosynthetic process in green plants (carbon dioxide trap); d-ribulose is the epimer of d-xylulose. (Wikipedia)
