Homochirality in biomineral suprastructures induced by assembly of single-enantiomer amino acids from a nonracemic mixture
Induction of complex homochiral architectures by chiral transformation in a mixed enantiomer system has remained largely elusive. Here, the authors report a chirality dominance effect which induces homochiral suprastructures of calcium carbonate by a mixed, heterochiral nonracemic amino acid enantio...
