✦ Synopsis


In 1858, Pasteur reported that the dextro form of ammonium tartrate was more rapidly destroyed by the mold Penicillium glaucum than the levo isomer. 1 This was the initial observation of the biological differences between enantiomorphs and led Pasteur to the recognition of the role stereochemistry plays in the basic mechanisms of life.

Evolution of the initial ''three-point attachment model'' resulted in the understanding that an interaction in at least three configuration-dependent points is needed for a chiral selector to recognize entantiomers. Thermodynamic enantioselectivity of this interaction can result in chiral discrimina
