Question
Chapter 17, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the reaction of a symmetric molecule with an enzyme in an asymmetric way should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The asymmetric catalysis can be achieved via chiral reagents, asymmetric catalyst or via an enzyme that can induce asymmetry.
All the molecules present in biological systems are essentially single enantiomers. For example, all the amino acids are S- amino acids. Therefore, the biological system can serve as a chiral environment.
