To draw: The Fischer projection of glycine.
Concept introduction: The Fisher projections are used to represent the different forms of chiral molecules. It is a way to represent a three-dimensional molecule in a two-dimensional form with the help of projections. The horizontal bonds outspread above the plane of the paper and the vertical bonds outspread below the plane of the paper.
To determine: The hydrogen atom in glycine which must be replaced with CH3 to yield D-alanine.
