Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The stereochemistry of the two chirality centres in isocitrate is to be assigned. Further whether the OH and H add to the Si face or Re face of the double bond is also to be stated.

- As stated, proteins are stereochemically pure because only a single enantiomer of each amino acid building block is used by nature.
