presumably this means that atoms have 3D placement. also @joigus 's comment.
And what about the use of these compounds (i.e. metabolism), how does body differentiate whether such compounds are not useful/usable (i.e. harmful) or vice versa?
note: I know or can accept that not everything could be classified as harmful things and vice versa , there might also be something like not harmful and not efficacious. But, here in turkey , generally medical doctors (professors) tend to say that trans fats were harmful. I am trying to understand the case.(implication).
from my particular master program notes, I also know that unsaturated acids were a necessity and efficacious. simply ,how and explanation for the opposing case?
from this comment ,I understand that trans fats' melting point is high. they tend to clog the veins. So ,problems are occuring in the mechanism.
is this the consistence really?
and does this show also that , they were not needed in fact?
another question:
I think we do not know or previously define how the compounds act,right?
for instance ,here we know that unsaturated two forms have same formula, but because of their geometrical placement they are not same.
one of them has tendency to be harmful while another one is efficacious and needed.
but, in fact, we can only realise this after observation and experiments (I know that this detail is already known about TFAs)
otherwise, it cannot be said whether a compound was previously harmful or efficacious (before it created and used (i.e. experiments and observations)
all in all,I am again not sure really. bacause some scientific criteria might illuminate the way.
