Separating mirrored molecules
In nature, most chiral molecules only appear in one specific enantiomeric form. [Read more @ the blog – “The handed world“, https://chiralpedia.com/blog/the-handed-world/]. Moreover, the handedness of the enantiomer can have a powerful effect on how that molecule behaves. The chiral difference between two molecules often plays a huge role in pharmacology and physiology, even though the two seem nearly identical but are not really in a bioenvironment, which is chiral.
