Deoxyribose Sugar
Deoxyribose Sugar
99%+ Purity • 5g • Research Supplement
2-Deoxy-D-Ribose (2dDR) is a naturally occurring pentose sugar that serves as the structural backbone of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It is a monosaccharide derived from ribose through the removal of one oxygen atom at the 2' carbon position — a seemingly small change that makes it the universal building block of genetic material in all living organisms.
Beyond its fundamental role in DNA, 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose has attracted significant research interest for its biological activity. It acts as a reducing sugar and plays roles in cellular signaling, metabolic pathways, and has been studied for its potential effects on angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) and wound healing processes.
Our 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is supplied at 99%+ purity, making it ideal for research applications, supplement formulation, and experimental use. Each 5-gram unit is carefully handled and packaged to preserve compound integrity.
The fundamental structural sugar of all DNA. Used in biochemistry research, nucleoside synthesis, and molecular biology applications requiring authentic deoxyribose.
Studied for its role in stimulating angiogenesis — the formation of new blood vessels. Relevant to wound healing and tissue regeneration research applications.
Functions as a reducing sugar with reactivity in biochemical assays. Useful as a reference compound in carbohydrate chemistry and oxidative stress research.
A valuable compound for studying nucleotide metabolism, pentose phosphate pathways, and cellular energy dynamics in biological research settings.

2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is freely soluble in water. For stock solutions, dissolve in sterile distilled water or PBS. Typical research concentrations range from 1mM to 25mM depending on application.
Prepared aqueous solutions should be stored at 4°C and used within 2 weeks, or aliquoted and stored at −20°C for longer term. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve integrity.
Use in cell culture, biochemical assays, angiogenesis models, or nucleotide synthesis as directed by your research protocol. Ensure concentration is appropriate for your specific experimental model.
Handle with standard laboratory precautions. Store the dry powder sealed, away from heat and moisture. This product is supplied for research purposes — refer to your institution's safety protocols for use.
