`·1· ·I think to a person such as myself, an
`·2· ·enantiomer would be one, a stereospecific
`·3· ·confirmation of a compound.
`·4· · · · · Q.· ·And you say that you think that
`·5· ·would be the definition to a person such as
`·6· ·yourself.· Would that also be the same
`·7· ·definition that would be understood by a person
`·8· ·of ordinary skill in the art?
`·9· · · · · A.· ·I believe so, yes.· As I recall
`10· ·sitting here today, yes.
`11· · · · · Q.· ·What's your definition,
`12· ·Dr. Palmieri of the term "diastereomer"?
`13· · · · · A.· ·As I recall sitting here today and
`14· ·of course, I would confirm it, it is where
`15· ·there are two configurations, but that's
`16· ·sitting here today off the top of my head.
`17· · · · · Q.· ·Where there are two configurations
`18· ·of what?
`19· · · · · A.· ·Two configurations of the way the
`20· ·atoms are oriented in the molecule, the
`21· ·isomers.
`22· · · · · Q.· ·What's the difference between an
`23· ·enantiomer and a diastereomer?
`24· · · · · A.· ·I don't recall sitting here today,

`·3· ·Dr. Palmieri?
`·4· · · · · A.· ·Sitting here today, I have a

`·8· · · · · Q.· ·And sitting here today, what is

`17· ·back to a reference.
`18· · · · · Q.· ·If you don't know sitting here
`19· ·today what a lactone is, Dr. Palmieri, how is
`20· ·it that you can offer an opinion as to whether

`22· ·'953 patent could be converted to a lactone?

`·1· · · · · Q.· ·And do you see in Scheme 1, that
`·2· ·there's a reaction and there's a molecule on

`·4· ·form the molecule on the right?
`·5· · · · · A.· ·I believe that's correct, yes.
`·6· · · · · Q.· ·Okay.· And the molecule on the
`·7· ·right under Scheme 1 after step A, would you
`·8· ·describe that molecule as an amide or a salt?
`·9· · · · · A.· ·As an amide or a salt?· Sitting
