Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000421

A prefix used in chemistry to denote a stereoisomer that differs from another isomer in the configuration at one or more chiral centers. It often indicates a specific spatial arrangement of atoms within a molecule, particularly in carbohydrate chemistry. For instance, allose is an aldohexose that is an epimer of glucose at the C3 position.
