2-Deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA): applications and modifications. [PDF]
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol, 2018 2-Deoxy-d-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) is a class I aldolase that offers access to several building blocks for organic synthesis. It catalyzes the stereoselective C–C bond formation between acetaldehyde and numerous other aldehydes.

D-ribose induces nephropathy through RAGE-dependent NF-κB inflammation. [PDF]
Arch Pharm Res, 2018 Recently, aberrantly high levels of d-ribose have been discovered in type II diabetic patients. d-ribose glycates proteins more rapidly than d-glucose, resulting in the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Accumulations of these products

d-Ribose contributes to the glycation of serum protein.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2019 d-Ribose is active in glycation and rapidly produces advanced glycation end products, leading to cell death and to cognitive impairment in mice. Glycated serum protein (GSP) is a relatively short-term biomarker for glycemic control in diabetes mellitus ...

Prolonged glycation of hen egg white lysozyme generates non amyloidal structures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Glycation causes severe damage to protein structure that could lead to amyloid formation in special cases. Here in this report, we have shown for the first time that hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) does not undergo amyloid formation even after prolonged ...
