Question

What does L-prefix before an amino acid signify?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amino acids can occur in L- and D-forms, but only L-forms are used by cells.

Every amino acid (except glycine) can occur in two isomeric forms, because of the possibility of forming two different enantiomers (stereoisomers) around the central carbon atom. By convention, these are called L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.
