What are the structures for furanose and pyranose forms of d-ribose?
The molecular structure of β-d-ribose in its pyranose form (a) and β-d-ribose in its furanose form (b). The carbon atoms 1C and 5C are signified in both the pyranose and furanose forms.

It has been known for over 40 years that in solution, ribose exists as a mixure of four different structures: α- and ß-furanoses as well as α- and the dominant ß-pyranose. Pyranoses are a form of sugar in which the five carbon atoms and an oxygen atom form a six-membered ring.
