The phenomenon or condition of being an epimer; the relationship between compounds that differ in stereochemistry at one carbon atom.
From 'epimer' + '-ism' (suffix denoting a state, condition, or system).
Epimerism is nature's way of showing that even tiny, invisible differences in how atoms are arranged can create completely different biological effects—it's why some sugars nourish you and others don't.
