pegasus10 Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Hello, is it possible to draw the ring structure of a ketopentose, like for example D-ribulose? I've been browsing the web and some organic chemistry textbooks, but I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks in advance! Edited November 19, 2018 by pegasus10
