The concept of critical time in a law-of-mass-action-based model of chiral amplification is defined as the moment at which the chiral polarization has its inflection point. The slope of the chiral polarization at the critical point reflects the speed by which the transition from an almost racemic in

A simplified kinetic model is proposed to describe stereoselective autocatalysis in specific alkylzinc additions. The model is based on current experimental knowledge and by the use of exclusively mono-or bimolecular processes attempting a chemically and kinetically realistic description. The underl
The Frank model for biochemical L-D stereoselection is generalized by allowing (slightly) different values for the rate constants of enantiomeric reactions. Approximate analytical solutions of this model are obtained, valid for arbitrary initial conditions. The behaviour of the model for near-zero a
