1. The quality or state of being enantiomorphic; the relationship between two objects that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed.
Usage: chemistry; crystallography; formal

Examples

• The enantiomorphism of left-handed and right-handed amino acids is crucial in biochemistry.
• Crystals exhibiting enantiomorphism have mirror-image forms that cannot overlap perfectly.
• Scientists study enantiomorphism to understand how molecular structure affects biological activity.
• The enantiomorphism between the two isomers explains their different interactions with polarized light.
