What's the difference between dextrorotatory and right?

Dextrorotatory


Definition:

  • (a.) Turning, or causing to turn, toward the right hand; esp., turning the plane of polarization of luminous rays toward the right hand; as, dextrorotatory crystals, sugars, etc. Cf. Levorotatory.

  • (20) Another mu-agonist, levorphanol (20, 40, 80, or 160 micrograms) and dextrorphan (160 micrograms), its dextrorotatory isomer, were used next to evaluate opioid specificity.
