General description

D-(−)-Ribose has been in an in vitro study of the effect of non-enzymatic ribation in modifying bone collagen leading to bone fragility.

Application

  • Protective effect of thymoquinone on glycation of human myoglobin induced by d-ribose.: This study investigates the protective effects of thymoquinone against d-ribose-induced glycation in human myoglobin, highlighting potential therapeutic applications in preventing protein glycation (Liu et al., 2023).
