Definitions and meanings of "Enantiomers"

What do we mean by enantiomers?

One of a pair of stereoisomers that is the mirror image of the other, but may not be superimposed on this other stereoisomer. Almost always, a pair of enantiomers contain at least one chiral center, and a sample of either enantiomer will be optically active.

The word "enantiomers" in example sentences

There is a little latitude in incorporating incorrect enantiomers, which is promising as per Orgel, but not enough to write off enantiomeric cross inhibition as a problem in general. ❋ Unknown (2006)

(like our left and right hands) called 'enantiomers'. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The 2 enantiomers of racemic tramadol function in a complementary manner to enhance the analgesic efficacy and improve the tolerability profile of tramadol. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I'm just struck by the fact that someone claims to have majored in chemistry but writes as if he doesn't understand *why* enantiomers are formed in racemic mixtures here's a hint: kinetics and thermodynamics. ❋ James F. McGrath (2008)

Even minerals could not achieve on a macroscopic scale one desirable separation, the resolution of D-ribonucleotides from their L-enantiomers. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The enantiomers of carvone smell respectively of anise and spearmint. ❋ Unknown (2006)

While perhaps not a case of "fooling smell," enantiomers mirror images of the same compound can smell different. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Local (variations in a whole sample) in concentrations of specific enantiomers in a racemic solution (for example) are more than sufficient to be ampolified by autocatalytic processes. ❋ Unknown (2005)

And since a drug must match the molecules it should bind to itself in the cells, it is often only one of the enantiomers that is of interest. ❋ Unknown (2001)

In the early sixties it was not known whether catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation was feasible, i.e. would it be possible to catalyse an asymmetric reaction to produce an excess of one of the enantiomers? ❋ Unknown (2001)

(A) was replaced by one of the enantiomers of a chiral phosphine. ❋ Unknown (2001)

The reason for the enantiomeric excess is to be found in the hydrogenation stage, as the hydrogen can be added in two ways that give the different enantiomers at different rates. ❋ Unknown (2001)

In the chiral hydrogenation one of the enantiomers of DiPAMP was used. ❋ Unknown (2001)

This means that they prefer to bind to one of the enantiomers. ❋ Unknown (2001)

In other words, the receptors are extremely selective; only one of the enantiomers fits the receptor's site like a key that fits a lock. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Hydrogenation takes place more rapidly via the complex with the lowest energy, thus producing an excess of one of the enantiomers. ❋ Unknown (2001)

But when we study the molecules of the cells in close-up, it is evident that nature mainly uses one of the two enantiomers. ❋ Unknown (2001)

In 1980 Noyori and co-workers published an article on the synthesis of both enantiomers of the diphosphine ligand BINAP (figure 6). ❋ Unknown (2001)

Thus the amino acid alanine occurs in two forms, called enantiomers. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Since the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule often have totally different effects on cells, it is important to be able to produce each of the two forms pure. ❋ Unknown (2001)
