How To Draw Enantiomers
How To Draw Enantiomers. You should be able to draw molecules, such as those shown in the jsmol images above, to show that they are mirror images! Alanine, an amino acid found in proteins, si chiral.

Identical (drawing is flipped vertically but they are the same structure). In general, the easiest way to draw the enantiomer of a given molecule is to simply redraw the compound, replacing all dashes with wedges and all wedges with dashes. Draw the two enantiomers of alanine.
