Isomerism

Isomerism in genetics

Isomerism is a phenomenon in molecular biology in which different molecules can have the same molecular composition and chemical properties. However, they have different spatial arrangements of atoms, which leads to different physical properties.

In genetics, isomerism is an important concept because it allows us to understand how various genetic mutations affect the biochemical processes of the body. Thanks to isomerization, it is possible to determine how a mutation in one gene can lead to a change in another gene or even affect an entire organism. Isomers are key molecules in the homeostasis of the body, as they regulate the transport of molecules into
