UCF NanoScience Technology Center researchers developed an easier way to identify unique molecules by their chiral spectral fingerprints, which could help in creating pharmaceuticals or biomolecules.
A chiral center, also known as a stereocenter or chiral atom, is a specific atom within a molecule that lacks superimposable mirror images. A chiral center in a molecule typically leads to the molecule’s chirality [1-6].
Find the chiral atoms in a molecule and see if their stereocenters are R or S.
Phys.org: How chirality goes from the molecular level to the cellular one
This finding implies that the cell nucleus can rotate even when there is no chiral orientation of the cytoskeleton on a cellular level. To confirm whether this mechanism was driving the rotation, the ...
After selling out shows around the world for her upcoming The Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry has announced that she will launch an extensive run in the United States, beginning in Houston, Texas on May 7 at Toyota Center.
Modeling and implications for organ development This finding implies that the cell nucleus can rotate even when there is no chiral orientation of the cytoskeleton on a cellular level. To confirm ...

A non-chiral figure is called achiral or amphichiral. The helix (and by extension a spun string, a screw, a propeller, etc.) and Möbius strip are chiral two-dimensional objects in three-dimensional ambient space. The J, L, S and Z-shaped tetrominoes of the popular video game Tetris also exhibit chirality, but only in a two-dimensional space.
