Research Abstract |
Formose reactions are responsible for ribose formation. The unique technique was invented in the present study to identify intermediate products and final products through the formose reactions. Using this new technique, it is found that ribose-borate complex is more stabilized compared to other pentose-borate complex. This yields selectively survived ribose in the alkaline and slightly heated solutions. In addition, this study answers a question as to why RNA chosen ribose.
