   Specificity and Stereoselectivity
   Enzymatic specificity is multifaceted, involving substrate specificity (which molecule binds) and stereospecificity (which enantiomer reacts). Enzymes achieve near-perfect stereoselectivity (often $>99.99\%$) because the active site presents a three-point attachment surface. Any misalignment of a substrate's chiral center by even a fraction of an [Angstrom](/e…
