Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Xylulose
DescriptionD-Xylulose, also known as D-lyxulose or D-threo-pentulose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. D-Xylulose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
