@zauey: Chemists solve the mystery of mirror image molecules 🧪 the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry explained 🪞 Molecules come in left and right-handed mirror images. eg. one version of carvone tastes like spearmint, its mirror image tastes like caraway 💊 The stakes are higher in medicine: thalidomide's wrong hand caused birth defects, and ibuprofen is sold as a mix where only one hand fights pain 🔬 Henri Kagan showed a cheap, slightly imperfect ingredient can make nearly pure medicine just as well as a perfect one 📈 Kenso Soai went further to show a reaction that copies itself and gets purer every round #NobelPrize #chemistry #chirality #Science #medicine Disclosure: Views expressed are my own.

So we can use his research to properly select the right enatiomer of say thalidomide, thus we can properly select the R enatiomer of thalidomide and prevent another thalidomide disaster?

I’m confused about the part when there are no lopsided ingredients and it still produces the needed hand, how was that consequential thing from the one when the ratios are different
