General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry, Chapter 15.3, Problem 15.6P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions and properties of organic compounds called organic chemistry. The molecular formula of an organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are called isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.

Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula, but they have different arrangements of atoms in the three-dimensional space.

Can you please explain to me this problem im very confused and lost. Help me step by step and in detail im soo lost.
2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all stereoisomers of this compound. HO OH
