Haworth Projections

This tutorial shows the relationship between Fischer and Haworth projections and their relationship with the three-dimensional structure of each anomer. Each of the sugars is in its reducing form and shown as both the alpha and beta anomer. The 3-D conformation of the sugar may not be in its lowest energy chair conformation. However, in many cases it is. The translation is directly from Haworth projection to 3-D structure.
