Biochemistry
In the Cahn Ingold Prelog system, what determines the priority of chemical groups attached to a chiral carbon?
A chiral carbon has the following priority order: 1 (-OH), 2 (-Cl), 3 (-CH3), 4 (-H). If the sequence 1-2-3 is counterclockwise, what is the configuration?
In a Fischer projection, what orientation of the hydroxyl group indicates a D configuration?
Given a monosaccharide with the following chiral carbon configurations: D, L, D, D, what is the configuration of the entire monosaccharide?
How would you explain the main difference between the Cahn Ingold Prelog system and Fisher's convention?
What is the first step in determining R and S configurations using the Cahn Ingold Prelog system?
Analyze the significance of glyceraldehyde enantiomers in Fischer's convention.
