Study Notes
Stereochemistry
- Stereochemistry is the study of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules.
Chirality
- Chirality refers to objects that are not the same as their mirror images.
Diastereomers
- Diastereomers are a type of isomers that have different IUPAC names.
Enzyme-Substrate Interactions
- The specific three-dimensional shape of enzymes makes possible specific interactions between enzymes and substrates.
Handedness in Organic Molecules
- The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in organic molecules results in handedness or chirality.
