The Crystal Structure of D-Ribose-At Last

The Crystal Structure of D-Ribose-At Last

Better late than never! The β‐furanose form of D‐ribose, present in countless biomolecules, does not occur in the crystalline compound. X‐ray diffraction and NMR experiments show that D‐ribose occurs in two crystal forms that contain β‐ and α‐pyranose forms in various ratios.
