- Beschreibung
- Many natural structures such as proteins, climbing vines, and seashells exhibit a well defined chirality, some are left-handed, some are right-handed, some are both. The ultimate origin of chirality is one of Nature's great mystery. However, geometry and mechanics play a fundamental role in assigning chirality and carrying this information from microscopic to macroscopic scales. In this talk, I will discuss the general problem of chirality, chirality measure, and chirality transfer, trace its history, and use examples from chemistry and biology to obtain general principles with some surprising twists.
