Short description
Stereoisomers are compounds with the same chemical formula and the same connectivity, but different arrangements in three-dimensional space. The study of stereoisomers and their chemical effects is known as stereochemistry. Despite having identical chemical formulae, stereoisomers can have drastically different biological properties.
