Molecular Handedness: How Chirality Shapes Molecules
Introduction Molecules can come in two shapes that mirror each other, in the same way as our left and right hands. This attribute, called chirality, can be found in biological molecules like sugars and proteins This property, often referred to as molecular handedness, plays a crucial role in chemistry, biology, and pharmacology. In this article, we will explore the basics of chirality, examine examples of chiral and achiral molecules, and delve into the methods used to …
