d ribonolactone

D-Ribonolactone is a sugar lactone and an inhibitor of β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli (Ki: 26 mM).

5-Bromo-5-deoxy-2,3-isopropylidene-D-ribonolactone is a biochemical reagent used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology examines the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It encompasses carbohydrate chemistry, the enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked to fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.

2,3,5-Tri-O-benzyl-D-ribono-1,4-lactone, a carbohydrate derivative, is a lactone formed from D-ribonolactone with benzyl groups attached to the oxygen atoms at positions 2, 3, and 5.
