Consider the amino acid molecule shown below in a Fischer representation. Which of the following correctly designates this molecule as either a D- or L-amino acid? Hint: you may need to switch two groups one or two times to get the molecule to look like the familiar Fischer D- and L- representations of the "reference compound" glyceraldehyde. Recall that -COOH (or HOOC-, depending on the orientation) represents a carboxylic acid functional group. Isopropyl NH₂ -COOH O The molecule is neither a D- nor an L-amino acid O The molecule is a L-amino acid The molecule is a D-amino acid
