Deoxyribose Sugar Structure Molecule
SKU: 68799W
Deoxyribose or more precisely 2-deoxyribose is distinguished from the 5 carbon sugar in having a hydrogen instead of an OH group on carbon 2. The correct IUPAC name for deoxyribose is 2-deoxy-d-ribose which describes the isomer found in DNA. Deoxyribose forms the "backbone" of DNA as can be seen in our 12 base pair DNA model. Note that the deoxyribose in our model is shown without hydrogens to simplify its construction.
You can use our 3D Molecular Model Builder to view & compare the linear form of 2-deoxyribose to the ringed form deoxyribofuranose. First choose the model style: "Orbit-flexible". Then enter the structure you want to view/build.

Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
