This project investigates the origins of biological homochirality through the lens of chiral-induced spin selectivity. It aims to develop advanced computational methods to simulate the interactions between molecular chirality and electron spin, enhancing our understanding of enantioselective crystallization processes.
The origin of biological homochirality remains one of the most enduring open questions in science.
The Sasselov group recently proposed a hypothesis based on the enantioselective crystallization of RNA precursors on magnetite surfaces, achieving chiral resolution in laboratory experiments.
While these results provide compelling evidence, the underlying mechanism remains unknown.
Sasselov suggested that the process is driven by chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which refers to the ability o…
