Answer #1

An enantiopure drug is a pharmaceutical that is available in one specific enantiomeric form. Most biological molecules(protein,suger, etc.) are present in only one of many chiral forms, so different enantiomers of a chiral drug molecule bind differently (or not at all) to target receptors.
