Image:Glucose.png]] A '''Haworth projection''' is a common way of representing the cyclic structure of Monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. The Haworth projection was named after the English chemist Sir Walter_N._Haworth. A Haworth projection has the following characteristics: *Carbon is the implicit type of atom. In the example on the right, the atoms numbered from 1 to 6 are all carbon atoms. *Hydrogen atoms on carbon are implicit. In the example, atoms 1 to 6 have extra hydrogen atoms not depicted. *A thicker line indicates atoms that are closer to the observer. In the example on the right, atoms 2 and 3 (and their corresponding OH groups) are the closest to the observer, atoms 1 and 4 are further from the observer and finally the remaining atoms (5, etc.) are the furthest.
