Biological Activity
α-D-ribose-5-phosphate (50-700 μM; 4 min) is converted to ribose 1-phosphate by activated Bacillus cereus Bacterial phosphopentomutas (PPM)[1].
α-D-Ribose-5-phosphate (1 mM; 10 min) acts as a substrate for wild-type Bacillus cereus phosphopentomutase[2].
α-D-Ribose-5-phosphate acts as a substrate for purified recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate Synthetase (MtPRS)[3].
