Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in early molecular networks

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>An important facet of early biological evolution is the selection of chiral enantiomers for molecules such as amino acids and sugars. The origin of this symmetry breaking is a long-standing question in molecular evolution. Previous m...
