Best Answer

The only way to determine between R and S isomers is by using a polarimeter and measuring the direction of bending of the light. R isomers will bend it clockwise, and S isomers will bend it counter-clockwise.

Is the R(-)- isomer or the S(-)-isomer of adrenaline more potent?

The R(-)-isomer of adrenaline is more potent. Its orientation allows its benzylic hydroyxl to form a hydrogen bond with Serine410 whereas this doesn't happen with S(-)-isomers of adrenaline.


Difference between D L Sugars?

D and L are optical isomer of each other, or non superimposible mirror images. The convention uses Glyceraldhyde as the reference. In a fisher projection the OH of glyceraldehyde is on the right side ( more improtantly in the R configuration)in the D isomer and on the left side ( or the molecule is in the L configuration) in the L isomer. So for all other sugars it looks at the last chiral center for the molecule if the chiral center is R it is a D isomer if the last chiral center is in the S configuration it is an L isomer.

How is the CORN rule applied to name carbohydrates?

The "CO" refers to the carboxyl, the "R" refers to the alkyl and the "N" refers to the nitrogen. Look at the carbon chiral atom of the carbohydrate with the hydrogen atom behind. If CO-R-N is clockwise, then it is a D isomer. If CO-R-N is anti-clockwise, then it is a L isomer.
