Fischer projections can be overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. My new guide will help you recognize and draw fishcer projections, finding R and S when there is one or more chiral center, convert between Fischer and sawhorse or Newman, and finally draw pyranose and furanose rings for sugar molecules. New more? Catch my […]
