Review of the origin of asymmetry of biomolecules through weak interaction: latest developments

L Keszthelyi. Orig Life. 1981 Mar-Jun.

Abstract

New results and discussions since 1977 are reviewed. It is stated that--excepting Kovács's crystallization experiments not yet repeated in independent laboratories--positive, unconfuted results do not exist. Considering also the results of the different amplification theories it seems to be very improbable that the weak interaction played any role in establishing the nearly complete asymmetry of biomolecules.
