Epimerised

/ˌɛpɪˈmɛraɪzd/ adjective

Etymology

From 'epimerise' (British spelling of 'epimerize') + '-d' (past participle), from Greek 'epimer' + '-ise'.

Kelly Says

Once a molecule has been 'epimerised,' it's chemically transformed—atoms rearranged but still containing the same elements, like rearranging furniture in a room while keeping all the pieces.
