Fischer projections are a key skill required at the organic chemistry and definitely at the biochemistry molecule. Instead of drawing complex 3-dimensional structures over and over, you simply learn how to draw a ‘flat' version of the molecule without losing its chirality.
This video is the first in a 5-part series to help you learn and master this skill. As you watch the video be sure to pause for every example and try drawing the structures before watching how I do it.

This is video 1 of 5 in the Fischer projection tutorial video series. click for the entire series along with my practice quiz and cheat sheet.
Would a Model Kit help you? Watch How to Use Your Organic Chemistry Model Kit.
Why does the last fisher projection have 2 chiral centres (the carbons are attached to 2 methyl groups), I thought a chiral carbon had 4 different substituents?
Thanks for the video!
Great dear ….. So beautifully u explain organic streochemistry
great effort
plz u can post the lecture about chiral centre with examples
I cover this and more in the organic chemistry study hall. Details: https://leah4sci.com/join
thank you for your effort 🙂
You’re welcome Zoej. Are you in orgo or preparing for the MCAT?
