super17Participantsome say its riboluse biphosphate
and some say ribulose bisphosphate - November 10, 2012 at 11:18 am #112922JackBeanParticipant
bi- and bis- means the same. Bi- is used for smaller ligands, while bis- is for larger ligands.

The sugar should be spelled ribulose. I don’t think there is an acceptable alternative (Jack would know for sure, he’s a plant phys guy).

yeah, you’re right, I didn’t notice the misspell. And I was wondering, what was the difference 😀

.
that really helped
but that misspell was by mistake not on purpose.
thanks guys. - November 25, 2012 at 3:24 pm #113068JackBeanParticipant
actually, I wasn’t really correct. The prefix should not be bi-, but di-, thus the first name is wrong.

But my I was told that bi and di mean the same.
Could u please elaborate on this part.I really want this confusion to end once and for all. - November 27, 2012 at 9:32 am #113092JackBeanParticipant
I think it should be either di- or bis-
