The reference is: Altona, C. & Sundaralingam, M. (1972) "Conformational analysis of the sugar ring in nucleosides and nucleotides. A new description using the concept of pseudorotation." J. Am. Chem. Soc. 94, 8205-8212. See the SHCNAaP paper (http://http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9356255) for further details; as mentioned in Section SCHNAaP/SCHNArP (http://http://3dna.rutgers.edu:8080/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) of the forum, [mono:2tedyoak]analyze[/mono:2tedyoak] in 3DNA is derived directly from SCHNAaP.

HTH,
