Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Subsequent to the discovery of chirality of organic molecules by Pasteur, living organisms
have been found to utilize biomolecules of only one handedness. The origin of this …

The observed single-handedness of biological amino acids and sugars has long been
attributed to autocatalysis. However, the stability of homochiral states in deterministic …

Kinetic modeling using nonlinear differential equations is proposed to analyze the
spontaneous generation of enantiomeric excess in the autocatalytic addition of …

The origin of homochirality, the observed single-handedness of biological amino acids and
sugars, has long been attributed to autocatalysis, a frequently assumed precursor for early …

Abstract (Chemical Equation Presented) Enantioselective addition of diisopropyl-zinc to a
pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde was induced by chiral cocrystals of achiral two-component …

To understand chiral symmetry breaking on the molecular level, we developed a method to
efficiently investigate reaction kinetics of single molecules. The model systems include …

Chemistry as a natural science occupies the length and temporal scales ranging between
the formation of atoms and molecules as quasi-classical objects, and the formation of proto …

The experimentally observed distribution of enantiomers in the Soai reaction is interpreted in
this Article on the basis of a chemical mechanism using a newly developed stochastic kinetic …

A continuous time discrete state stochastic kinetic approach is used to study various chiral
autocatalytic models in which the possibility of total asymmetric synthesis arises. It is shown …
