Researchers Step Closer to Mimicking Nature’s Mastery of Chemistry (www.ucdavis.edu)
In nature, organic molecules are either left- or right-handed, but synthesizing molecules with a specific “handedness” in a lab is hard to do. Make a drug or enzyme with the wrong “handedness,” and it just won’t work. Now chemists at the University of California, Davis, are getting closer to mimicking nature’s...
