The degradation work had up to this point occupied itself mainly with the proof of the gross skeletal structure, and relatively little attention had been given to the stereochemistry of the molecule. It was at this point that this aspect of the problem was cleared by the determination of the structure of strychnine by X-ray crystallographic analysis independently by Robertson and Beevers (35) and Bijvoet et al. (36).

There have been two crystal-structure determinations of myo-inositol, the inositol stereoisomer having only one axial hydroxyl group. One of these studies, by Rabinowitz and Kraut, was on the anhydrous form and the other, by Lomer, Miller, and Beevers, was on the dihydrate. In both structures, the molecules have the expected chair conformation, and the proposal by Posternak of an axial hydroxyl group on C-4 was fully confirmed. The more accurate work on the anhydrous form provided evidence of small deviations, of the order of 1°, from the ideal chair conformation.

(b) Ribbon diagram (kindly prepared by Dr J. Raftery). Based originally on the coordinates of Reeke, Becker and Edelman (1975). The ribbon representation was introduced by Richardson (1985). The computer program RIBBON was authored by Priestle (1988).

(a) Skeletal model representation, in stereo (note the tilting of the base pairs in certain cases this is responsible for causing the DNA double helix to coil up, for example, into the nucleosome, a key component of the chromosome). (b) Space filling representation, in stereo, (c) Beevers molecular model. Figures kindly provided by Dr W. N. Hunter with permission.
