The general structures for D-amino acids of the given amino acids. Introduction: Amino acids are defined as organic compounds which contain amine ( -NH 2 ) and carboxyl ( -COOH ) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) attached to each amino acid. Amino acids exist in two isomeric forms due to the formation of two different enantiomers or stereoisomers around the central chiral carbon atom. The enantiomer which rotates the plane polarized light in the clockwise direction is labeled as D and the other which rotates the plane polarized light in anticlockwise direction is known as L form.

Summary Introduction
To determine:
The general structures for D-amino acids of the given amino acids.
Introduction:
Amino acids are defined as organic compounds which contain amine(-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) attached to each amino acid. Amino acids exist in two isomeric forms due to the formation of two different enantiomers or stereoisomers around the central chiral carbon atom. The enantiomer which rotates the plane polarized light in the clockwise direction is labeled as D and the other which rotates the plane polarized light in anticlockwise direction is known as L form.
