Meaning and Origin:
Deoxyribose is a type of sugar molecule that forms the backbone of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It is a 5-carbon sugar that differs from ribose, the sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), by the absence of an oxygen atom at the 2' position.
The name "deoxyribose" was first coined by Phoebus Levene in 1929. Levene discovered that the sugar in DNA lacked an oxygen atom at the 2' position, and he named it "deoxyribose" to reflect this difference.
