The origin of chiral asymmetry in biology has attracted the attention of the research
community throughout the years. In this paper we discuss the role of chirality and chirality …

The origin and potential role of chiral asymmetry remain one of the most exciting issues in
biology. In this paper we review the chirality of biological macromolecules, starting at the …

The origin and reason for the homochirality of living cells go with the problem of a relatively
narrow spectrum of the actual biological monomers compared to the whole theoretically …

A racemic mixture of N-Fmoc-protected phenylalanine (2) or tryptophan (3) was found to
spontaneously afford a gel enriched in either the L-or the D-form of their enantiomers …

The magnetic field can affect processes in the non-magnetic systems, including the
biochemical reactions in the living cells. This phenomenon becomes possible due to the …

This work addresses the supramolecular self-organization in the xerogels of formose
reaction products. The UV-induced formose reaction was held in over-saturated …

Some low-molecular-weight substances are able to self-assemble into fiber-like structures
(strings) to form gels. One of the examples of such substances is trifluoroacetylated alpha …

The interaction between homochiral substituted perylene bisimide (PBI) molecule and the D
enantiomer of phenylalanine amino acid was monitored. Spectroscopic transitions of PBI …

The molecules of chiral N-trifluoroacetylated α-aminoalcohols can self-assemble and form
long and thin fiber-like supramolecular structures (strings). The strings effectively grow on …

The N-trifluoroacetylated α-aminoalcohols (TFAAAs) are able to form quasi-one-dimensional
supramolecular fibers (strings) when chirally pure, and isometric precipitates in the …
