Figure 2
Axial and equatorial substituents on six-membered rings. (a) β-D-Glucose is most stable in the all-equatorial conformer. (b) D-myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is largely axial in its crystal structure (CCSD code NAMIHP10), but when bound to a protein it is in the more stable largely equatorial form (bound to AP2; PDB code 1gw5).
