Triterpene (C30) Classes
Ring configuration
The basic structure is 4 carbon rings, cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene, gonane, or sterane. The rings B/C are always trans in all natural steroids. If the rings C/D are trans, it is called gonane. If its stereochemistry is unspecified, it is called sterane. Most steroids take gonane form, but in cardenolides and bufanolides, the rings C/D are cis.

The majority of steroids have methyl groups sticking out from the bridgehead positions C-10 and C-13. When these methyl groups (or hydrogens) stand above the plane, they are called β-configuration. Those below the plane are called α-configuration. If the configuration at any site is unknown, it is indicated as ξ (Greek Xi). By default, hydrogen atoms or substituents at the positions C-8, 9, 10, 13, and 14 are assumed to be 8β, 9α, 10β, 13β, and 14α configurations. C-5 is a special position, because there are as many 5α steroids as 5β are.

Biosynthesis
The starting point is 2,3-oxidosqualene, which is formed by joining two FPPs tail-to-tail. This molecule undergoes cyclization with Wagner-Meerwein shift to form taxa-dependent precursors.
- animals, fungi, and yeast
- 2,3-oxidosqualene → lanosterol
- plants (including algae)
- 2,3-oxidosqualene → cycloartenol, dammarane
- bacteria
- 2,3-oxidosqualene → hopene
