Abstract
The conformational analysis of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides is reviewed. Conformational terms are introduced through examination of the conformations of cyclohexane and cyclopentane then applied to the pyranose, furanose, and septanose rings. Concepts such as the anomeric effect are discussed. Topics of current interest, such as hydroxymethyl group and hydroxyl group rotation and disaccharide conformations are summarized. Physical methods for studying conformation are outlined.
