Most monosaccharides contain at least one chiral carbon and can form stereoisomers. Enantiomers are a specific type of stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.

[One possible way of doing this is to try and imagine how the molecule would look if it was viewed from a point at the bottom of the page.] What you should see in your mind is a representation similar to the one drawn below.

The prefix D indicates only that the –OH group at the lowest chirality center has R stereochemistry and points to the right when the molecule is drawn in a standard Fischer projection.

The D-form of sugars, where the hydroxyl group is on the right, is more common in nature. The D- and L- designations are derived from glyceraldehyde, the simplest sugar, and this system is crucial in understanding the stereochemistry of carbohydrates.
