Riboflavin Riboflavin (E101), also known as vitamin B2, is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in animals. Like the other B vitamins, it supports energy production by aiding in the metabolising of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.

Ribonuclease Ribonuclease, abbreviated commonly as RNase, is a nuclease that catalyzes the breakdown of RNA into smaller components. They can be divided into endonucleases and exonucleases, and comprise several sub-classes within the EC 3.
Ribonucleotide reductase Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an enzyme that controls the cellular concentration of deoxyribonucleotides. Biosynthesis begins with the building up of essential molecules that RNR processes in a catalyzed reaction to make deoxyribonucleotides.
Ribose Ribose, primarily seen as D-ribose, is an aldopentose — a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including an aldehyde functional group in its linear form. It has the chemical formula 5105, and was discovered in 1905 by Phoebus Levene.
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) rDNA is a set of tandemly-repeated genes coding for preribosomal RNA. Because these genes have the ability to initiate the formation of nucleoli during interphase, these segments of the chromosomes are called nucleolus organizer regions or NORs.
Ribosomal protein A ribosomal protein is any of the proteins that, in conjunction with rRNA, make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the cellular process of translation. A large part of the knowledge about these organic molecules has come from the study of E.
Ribosome biogenesis Ribosome biogenesis, the process of making ribosomes, takes place both in the cell cytoplasm and in the nucleolus of eukaryotic cells. It involves the coordinated function of over 200 proteins in the synthesis and processing of the four rRNAs, as well as assembly of those rRNAs with the ribosomal proteins.
Ribosome display Ribosome Display is a technique used to perform in vitro protein evolution to create proteins that can bind to a desired ligand. The process results in translated proteins that are associated with their mRNA progenitor which is used, as a complex, to bind to an immobilized ligand in a selection step.
Ribosome Recycling Factor Ribosome Recycling Factor (RRF) is a protein found in bacterial cells as well as eukaryotic organelles, specifically mitochondria and chloroplasts. It functions to recycle ribosomes after completion of protein synthesis.
Ribosome shunting Ribosome shunting is a mechanism of translation initiation in which ribosomes physically bypass, or shunt over, parts of the 5' untranslated region to reach the initiation codon. This enables viruses to have more information than usual in an mRNA molecule.
Riboswitch In molecular biology, a riboswitch is a part of an mRNA molecule that can directly bind a small target molecule, and whose binding of the target affects the gene's activity. Thus, an mRNA that contains a riboswitch is directly involved in regulating its own activity, depending on the presence or absence of its target molecule.
Ribot (horse) The horse Ribot (1952-1972) was a bay thoroughbred foaled in England in 1952 by Tenerani out of Romanella by El Greco. Ribot was bred by Federico Tesio (1867-1954) and raced by his partner Mario Incisa della Rocchetta.
Ribotyping Ribotyping involves the fingerprinting of genomic DNA restriction fragments that contain all or part of the genes coding for the 16S and 23S rRNA. Conceptually, ribotyping is similar to probing restriction fragments of chromosomal DNA with cloned probes (randomly clones probes or probes derived from a specific coding sequence such as virulence factor).
Ribozyme A ribozyme (from ribonucleic acid enzyme, also called RNA enzyme or catalytic RNA) is an RNA molecule that catalyzes a chemical reaction. Many natural ribozymes catalyze either their own cleavage or the cleavage of other RNAs, but they have also been found to catalyze the aminotransferase activity of the ribosome.
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is an important 5-carbon intermediate in the Calvin cycle taking place during photosynthesis. It is the substrate used by the enzyme to fix carbon dioxide to create a highly unstable 6 carbon phosphate which virtually instantaneously decays into two molecules of glycerate 3-phosphate .
