The chiral nature of living systems has obvious implications for the biologically active compounds that interact with them. At the molecular level, chirality represents an intrinsic property of the essential building blocks of life, such as amino acids and sugars, and therefore, of peptides, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, nucleosides and a number of alkaloids and hormones. As a consequence, processes mediated by biological systems are stereochemistry-sensitive, and a pair of enantiomers can have different effects on living organisms. The scientific community has been studying the implications of chirality for life for more than a century. Today, it is still a topic of active research and…
