Identification
Name:N1-(alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole
DescriptionN1-(alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole is also known as alpha-ribazole. It is converted from N1-(5-Phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole via dephosphorylation by the enzyme alpha-ribazole phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.73). It can subsequently be used to synthesize Vitamin B12 coenzyme. (KEGG)

Chemical Taxonomy
Description belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzimidazole ribonucleosides and ribonucleotides. These are nucleosides with a structure that consists of an imidazole moiety of benzimidazole is N-linked to a ribose (or deoxyribose). Nucleotides have a phosphate group linked to the C5 carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) moiety.
