An l-isomer is a specific form of an amino acid that is characterized by the spatial arrangement of its atoms. It is one of the two enantiomers (the other being d-isomer) found in amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The l-isomer has its amino group on the left side when drawn in the Fischer projection, influencing its biological activity and role in protein synthesis.
congrats on reading the definition of l-isomer. now let's actually learn it.
