UnverifiedMany drug molecules exist in two chiral structures that are mirror images of each other, and traditional chemical synthesis methods often produce a mixture of the two chiral molecules, one of which may have therapeutic effect while the other may be ineffective or even harmful.76% similarUnverifiedIn many reactions that form chiral molecules from achiral starting materials, the two mirror-image products can be generated in equal amounts, forming a racemic mixture (50% each).66% similarUnverifiedChiral molecules usually originate from the presence of one or more chiral centers in the molecule, most commonly a carbon atom bonded to four different groups.65% similar
