- Chirality - Wikipedia
In humans, chirality (also referred to as handedness or laterality) is an attribute of humans defined by their unequal distribution of fine motor skill between the left and right hands
- Chirality and Stereoisomers - Chemistry LibreTexts
Chirality essentially means 'mirror-image, non-superimposable molecules', and to say that a molecule is chiral is to say that its mirror image (it must have one) is not the same as itself
- Chirality: Definition and Examples - Chemistry Learner
Chirality is a concept that deals with the asymmetry or handedness of objects or molecules The term is derived from the Greek word “kheir,” meaning hand Chirality refers to the fact that certain objects or molecules cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images
- What Is Chirality and Why Does It Matter? - ScienceInsights
Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry, derived from the Greek word for hand, cheir This concept describes any object that cannot be perfectly superimposed on its mirror image, much like a left hand cannot fit exactly into a right-handed glove
- Introduction to Chirality: Understanding the Basics - Chiralpedia
Chirality, derived from the Greek word “cheir” meaning hand, is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes an object’s property of being non-superimposable on its mirror image
- 4. 1. Chirality | Organic Chemistry 1: An open textbook
The existence of these molecules is determined by concept known as chirality The word “chiral” was derived from the Greek word for hand, because our hands are good example of chirality since they are non-superimposable mirror images of each other
- How chirality goes from the molecular level to the cellular one
Now, by studying the chiral behaviors of individual cells, Shibata and co-workers have found that the cells' scaffolding, or cytoskeleton, gives rise to the cell's chirality
- CHIRALITY Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
chiral adjective chi· ral ˈkī-rəl : of or relating to a molecule that is not superimposable on its mirror image chirality kī-ˈra-lə-tē kə- noun
