Homochirality through Photon-Induced Denaturing of RNA/DNA at the Origin of Life

Homochirality through Photon-Induced Denaturing of RNA/DNA at the Origin of Life

Since a racemic mixture of chiral nucleotides frustrates the enzymeless extension of RNA and DNA, the origin of homochirality must be intimately connected with the origin of life. Homochirality theories have elected to presume abiotic mechanisms for prebiotic enantiomer enrichment and post amplifica...
