✦ Synopsis

Through the a&on of rhe panty-~olating weak interactions, a chiral mdecute and its enantiomer are expected to have equilibrium stt-uc~ures which slightly deviate from an exact mirror-image relationship. II is found that such deviations. and the resulting small diMerenccs in the electromagneGc interactions within enantiomeric molecules, are insufiicienr to perturb signikandy or counteract the inherent parity-violating energy differences between enantiomers.

Ab initio calculations show that a biologically important sugar, D-ribose, is energetically stabilized relative to its unnatural Lenantiomer by the parity-violating weak interactions. This preferential stabilization may account for the exclusive adoption of Dribose rather than its L-enantiomer in th
