Ribose-5-phosphate should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Ribose-5-phosphate is the end product of the oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway.
Answer to Problem 21P
The compound I in the reaction is Ribose-5-phosphate.
Explanation of Solution
The ribulose-5-phosphate is obtained in pentose phosphate pathway when the ribose-5-phosphate is isomerized by phosphopentose isomerase.
Therefore, the compound I in the reaction is Ribose-5-phosphate.
