All stereoisomers in the human body are left handed. It is very odd but the mirror image ones are inactive in the body. Strange fact of nature. At least naturally occurring proteins are all L in biology. As far as I can remember from bio chem. I am not sure if the D's do anything.
Or I should add that not all proteins are stereo. It is the ones that are, that are optically active and rotate about a chiral center, that are all L in nature. No D's occur naturally so I don't see how a D would do anything.
