β¦ Synopsis
Assuming the active molecule as a two-level system, we calculate the racemization, due to the tunneling effect, taking into account the effects of the weak interactions and of an external potential. We show that the weak interactions would block the tunneling racemization of enantiomers in compressed gases and liquids.

We construct a renormalizable model of weak interactions based on the gauge group SU(;?)L x SU(2)a x U(1) and incorporating a natural suppression of all flavor-changing neutral currents. We resolve the dilemma between the observations of the "high-y anomaly" and of parity-violating neutral currents
