Enzymes can distinguish between stereoisomers, such as enantiomers. This is called stereoselectivity. Geometric specificity is a more stringent requirement than stereoselectivity (i.e. alcohol dehydrogenase, oxidation of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) to acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) faster than methanol to formaldehyde or isopropanol to aceton even though they only differ by deletion or addition of one CH2 group)
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
