The riboses in the RNA backbone contribute to its structural stability.

In cells, ribose plays a crucial role as the sugar backbone of RNA and is also found in riboflavin.

The enzyme catalyzed the transfer of ADP-ribose to the target protein, altering its activity.

Researchers discovered novel enzymes that selectively break down ribose nucleic acids in ancient samples.

Early researchers sometimes used the term ribose nucleic acid to describe the molecule now commonly known as RNA.
