Peptide Synthesis - What do L- and D-enantiomers mean?
Except for glycine, all α-amino acids are asymmetric molecules. They can be obtained in two forms, known as enantiomers. The biological activity of enantiomers varies greatly. The D-enantiomer (D: dexter) represents the mirror image of the L-enantiomer (L: laevus). There is no difference in the physical properties of D- and L-enantiomers. Most L-amino acids rotate light counterclockwise.
