Mirror-image asymmetry : an introduction to the origin and consequences of chirality /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

An overview of the importance and consequences of asymmetry from molecules to the macroscopic world. As scientists have become more capable of probing the structure of three-dimensional objects at the molecular level, the need to understand the concept and the consequences of mirror-image asymmetryc...
