 | deoxyribofuranose means a particular five-carbon sugar that's in a circle with five members (Carbons 1 through 4 and an oxygen), rather than in a linear arrangement. |
| ß means that of the two possible arrangements of the deoxyribofuranose, this molecule is in the version in which both the hydroxyl group of the Number 1 carbon and the Number 5 carbon are both above the plane of the circular furanose. |
| The alternative is the alpha arrangement, in which the hydroxyl group would be below the plane of the circular furanose, while the Number 5 carbon would be above it. |

Deoxyribofuranose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (68 words) |
| Deoxyribofuranose is an alternative name for the ring structure of deoxyribose. |
| This alternative name merely refers to the fact that deoxyribose has a five membered ring consisting of four carbons and a oxygen. |
| Deoxyribofuranose is more a structural description than a name. |
