Molecules – and their mirror image – and your mirror image

"Have you ever thought that when you see yourself in the Mirror – your mirror image is different from yourself – and that it is due to the molecules in your body!"

Many molecules act as Mirror images of each other, and all living is constructed of these Mirror image molecules. But it is only the one mirror image form of these molecules, That occur in living organisms, and this affects our lives and the world We live in.

The lecture will be a walk through these The marvelous and marvelous world of molecules – and how chemists can now Begin to control the formation of one particular mirror image form of a molecule.
