Primes¶
- Asymmetry
- The homochirality of biological amino acids (almost exclusively L-) and sugars (almost exclusively D-) is a substrate-furthest case of an asymmetry: pure structure, no agents, with profound downstream consequences for the biochemistry that organisms can sustain, a pattern Bonner (1991) surveyed in his foundational review of the origin and amplification of biomolecular chirality.
This sourceFoundational review of biological homochirality (almost-exclusive L-amino acids and D-sugars) as a substrate-furthest case of structural asymmetry, surveying the proposed mechanisms by which a small parity-derived enantiomeric excess could be amplified to biological dominance.
