Answer:

Enantiomers or optical isomers are chiral molecules which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. ... Different enantiomers fit differently into the various enzymes that drive biochemistry. This explains why they often taste and smell differently and have different effects as drugs.

A common example of a pair of enantiomers is dextro lactic acid and laevo lactic acid
