title: [The geometry of the sugar radicals of nucleic acids].
abstract: Geometric flexibility has been analyzed in nucleotides with 46 (deoxyribofuranose) and 74 (ribofuranose) conformers and tentatively (within most stable conformation of five-element ring in nucleic acids) 4 and 8 geometric isomers, respectively. Possible biological role of geometric isomers of deoxyribofuranose during DNA functioning has been discussed.
