FTP, identify this term that indicates the molecular version of left- and right-handedness.
Le Bel and van't Hoff took advantage of this property to help determine the tetrahedral structure of carbon compounds.  It is critical in pharmacology as it explains why only some methyl-dopa and ibuprofen molecules are effective.  It also occurs in simpler molecules such as 2-butanol. The S and R labels are applied to enantiomers, pairs of molecules that demonstrate this concept.  FTP, identify this term that indicates the molecular version of left- and right-handedness.
