Stereochemistry Practice Problems Quiz - Chemistry Steps

Why is Stereochemistry Important?

SOLVED: Stereochemistry in biological molecules is often denoted by the D and L convention, instead of the R and S configurations determined by the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog methodology. Naturally occurring α-amino acids are typically in the L-configuration. The Fischer projection of L-alanine is shown below:COOH|HzN-|CH3
