The origin of homochirality in molecules characterizing living systems has remained a mystery since Pasteur's recognition of the problem some 150 years ago.(2-5) Most theories also assume that homochirality emerged in one class of molecules (e.g. ribose) from which it was enriched in other molecules

Chirality, that is, the handedness of compounds, has attracted the broad interest of many scientists. One of the most characteristic features of chirality is that all living organisms on earth are composed of highly enantioenriched L-amino acids and D-sugars. Prebiotic processes which lead to these
