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.

What are some six letter words with 2nd letter S and 4th letter M and 5th letter E and 6th letter R?

According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern -S-MER. That is, six letter words with 2nd letter S and 4th letter M and 5th letter E and 6th letter R. In alphabetical order, they are: isomer

Which isomer packs more efficiently in the solid phase Cis isomer or Trans Isomer?

Trans isomer packs more efficiently in the solid phase compared to cis isomer. This is because trans isomers have a linear structure that allows them to stack more closely together, leading to stronger intermolecular interactions and more efficient packing.


How many isomer in nuclear physics?

Isomer is the term used for chemical compounds having the same molecular formula, in physics the term isomer is meaningless although the term Isotope is used.


If t is less than s and s is less than r what is the relationship between the values t and r?

Unfortunately, the browser used by Answers.com for posting questions is incapable of accepting mathematical symbols. This means that we cannot see the mathematically critical parts of the question. We are, therefore unable to determine what exactly the question is about and so cannot give a proper answer to your question. Please edit your question to include words for symbols and resubmit.It is necessary to know what the missing symbols are, because they will determine whether or not the relationship is transitive. If the relation ~ is transitive, then t~s and s~r imply that t~r. However, there are many simple relationships which are non-transitive.For example,if t is the additive inverse of s, and s is the additive inverse of r then t is not the additive inverse of r: it is r. Multiplicative inverses behave similarly.if t is the square of s, and s is the square of r, then t is the fourth power of r. Multiples [ t = 5*s] behave similarly.
