D-
D‐, L‐, and DL‐ Prefixes to chemical names for compounds that have a centre of asymmetry in the molecule, and which can therefore have two forms (isomers).
Most naturally occurring sugars have the d‐conformation; apart from a few microbial proteins and some invertebrate peptides, all the naturally occurring amino acids have the l‐configuration. Chemical synthesis yields a mixture of the d‐ and l‐isomers (the racemic mixture), generally shown as dl‐. See also R‐.
