Researchers at Gifu University’s Institute for Glyco-core Research have developed two synthetic approaches to produce a fragment of a molecule called poly(ADP-ribose). By developing two ways to ...

RECENTLY, we described experiments showing the synthesis of deoxyribose in guinea pig liver extracts by the coupling of a triose with acetaldehyde 1. The substitution of glycolaldehyde for ...

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...

In a recent study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers attempted to identify new genes and molecular pathways that might supply energy when the availability of glucose or other nutrients is ...
