Fischer projections help visualize D- and L- configurations, which relate to the arrangement of hydroxyl groups around chiral centers, particularly in monosaccharides. This method simplifies the comparison of carbohydrate isomers by showing the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Emil Fischer devised a simple notation that is still widely used. Fischer Projections allow us to represent 3D molecular structures in a 2D environment without changing their properties and/or structural integrity.

It is superimposed on its mirror image and is optically inactive although it contains two or more stereocenters.

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.
