Description

D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate is a critical phosphorylated sugar and a central intermediate in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. Its primary commercial and research value lies in its role as the carbon dioxide acceptor in the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) reaction. This compound is essential for researchers in plant biochemistry, enzymology, and metabolic studies, as well as for manufacturers of diagnostic kits and biochemical reagents.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A fundamental substrate for studying the kinetics and mechanism of the RuBisCO enzyme, crucial for understanding photosynthetic carbon fixation.
• Enzyme Activity Assays: Used as the key reagent in in vitro assays to measure RuBisCO carboxylase and oxygenase activities in plant and microbial extracts.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: Serves as a core component in the formulation of specialized diagnostic kits and reagents for research into plant metabolism and stress responses.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in tracer studies and metabolic flux analysis to investigate carbon flow in photosynthetic organisms and engineered pathways.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard for the quantification of related metabolites via HPLC, LC-MS, or enzymatic methods.
• Educational & Teaching Kits: Supplied to academic institutions for laboratory courses in advanced biochemistry and plant physiology.
