5-Phospho-D-ribose 1-diphosphate pentaso, dium, 25 mg

5-Phospho-D-ribose 1-diphosphate pentasodium is a phosphorylated ribose nucleotide precursor with CAS number 108321-05-7 and empirical formula C₅H₈Na₅O₁₄P₃. Its molar mass is 499,98 g/mol, consistent with the pentasodium salt of 5-phospho-D-ribose 1-diphosphate, a central intermediate in nucleotide and amino-acid biosynthetic pathways. size is appropriate for enzymatic assays, metabolic studies and in vitro reconstitution experiments that require controlled addition of this activated sugar phosphate donor. Biochemists and molecular biologists rely on such PRPP salts when investigating phosphoribosyltransferase reactions, nucleotide salvage pathways and related metabolic flux analyses. Supplied from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of its biochemical portfolio, the material supports specialised research applications rather than bulk process chemistry. Accurate dispensing of the small quantity helps conserve material during kinetic measurements, screening campaigns and mechanistic studies. Laboratories focused on nucleotide metabolism, enzymology and pathway engineering will recognise this reagent as a standard substrate-level tool for both qualitative and quantitative experimental designs in the life sciences.
