Abstract
The extended Hückel theory (EHT) and complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) methods have been used to calculate the minimum energy conformations of the sugar rings in D-ribose. A C3'-endo structure with a small puckering of C2' atom on the opposite side is predicted to be the most stable structure. Most of the experimental data lie in the theoretically predicted regions of high stability. The conformational structure of the chain depends, to a certain extent, on the conformations of the sugar ring.
