Hello so could anyone tell me the difference between isomers ,epimers,enantiomers and stereoisomers ?
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the structural formula for example:mannose and galactose Epimers they differ in the configuration around a specific carbon atom Anomers they are alpha and beta form of ring structure of sugars Enantiomers it indicate the orientation of OH group around the carbon atom before the terminal one
