immortal Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It seems chemists very well understand about chirality and producing a particular form of chiral enantiomers. http://www.websterworld.com/websterworld/scienceupdates/b/backgrounderonchirality525.html What is the common consensus about the origin of homochirality in biomolecules among chemists. Did homochirality preceeded origin of life or was it a consequence of life itself. What do you think? http://www.simsoup.info/Origin_Issues_Homochirality.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did homochirality preceeded origin of life or was it a consequence of life itself. What do you think? http://www.simsoup.i...ochirality.html So far as I know chemists are working with different hypothesis about the origin of chirality in life: A parity violating energy difference does that one isomer was selected over the other. A fluctuation in a far from equilibrium system near a bifurcation point selected one. Circularly polarized light generates asymmetric stereoselection via photochemical processes.
