agent. In nature, only one enantiomer of most chiral biological compounds, such as amino acids (except glycine, which is achiral), is present. Enantiomers differ by the direction they rotate polarized light: the amount of a chiral compound's optical rotation in the (+) direction is equal to the amount of its enantiomer's rotation in the (-) direction.

Diastereomers

Diastereomers are stereoisomers not related through a reflection operation. They are not
