Description: In chemistry isomers are different molecules where the relative number of atoms is the same but the arrangement of those atoms differs so that they are not identical Enantiomers are a subtle type of isomers where the molecules are nonsuperimposable mirror images The graphic illustrates this for a generic amino acid After reflection in a plane of symmetry and rotating the result 180 degrees it can be seen you end up with a different molecular structure because they cannot be superimposed
