Amino Acids can exsit in two sterioisomeric forms, D-amino(dextrorotatory) and L- amino (Levorortatory)[1] Most amion acid exsit in the L- isomers form in living orgamisms. However in recent years with major technology advancements in science D-isomers have also been found in living things. D-isomers are mainly found in bacteria in the peptiodglycan cell wall.
D- alanine and D-gluatmine are the main components in the peptiodclycan cell wall and can be asossiated with antibiotic resistance in bacteria. [2]
