Of or relating to epimers; describing compounds that are stereoisomers differing at only one stereogenic center.
From 'epimer' + '-ic' (adjective suffix), describing the quality or condition of being an epimer.
When chemists call something 'epimeric,' they're saying it's a case of mistaken identity at the molecular level—the compounds look almost identical but are actually different because of atom positioning in 3D space.
