Although only l-amino acids occur in proteins, d-amino acids are often a part of the metabolism of lower organisms. The antibiotic actinomycin D, for example, contains a unit of d-valine, and the antibiotic bacitracin A contains units of d-asparagine and d-glutamic acid. Draw Fischer projections and three-dimensional representations for these three d-amino acids.
