Stereochemistry in biological molecules is often denoted by the D- and L- convention, instead of the R- and S- configurations determined by the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog methodology. Historically, the glyceraldehyde enantiomer that rotated plane polarized light clockwise was arbitrarily designated as D and the other enantiomer was designated as the L configuration. The D-glyceraldehyde Fischer projection is shown. D-glyceraldehyde H H- -OH CH2OH Identify which structures are equivalent to the D-configuration. H H OH -CH,OH - H OH CH2OH H OH CHOH I H -CH,OH H -OH H H H HO Сн,он Н
