Abstract
This work concerns the theoretical study of the configurational topology of the ribose molecule. MP2/6-31G** geometry optimizations of the system have yielded several structures corresponding to local minima on the ground-state potential energy surface and the lowest energy configuration was identified. The stability of a few lowest lying conformations has been recalculated at the CCSD(T)/6-31G** level of theory.
