Molnupiraviris a promising drug candidate that is discovered to treat patients with Covid-19. The drug is more advantageous than Remdesivir because it is administered orally. The structure of Molnupiraviris drawn below: *Figure in the screenshot* a. How many chirality centers exist on this drug? b. How many maximum numbers of stereoisomers with respect to chiral centers exist? c. Determine R/S configuration of each chiral centeronMolnupiravirby pointing to each chiral center with an arrow on the structure above d. Draw the enantiomer of Molnupiraviracross from it above e. MolnupiravirdestroysCorona virus by introducing error during viral RNA replication. If you were a physician, would you administer a pill that consists of a racemic mixture of Molnupiravirand its enantiomer to a covid positive patient? What would be your expectations? Give your reasons.
