What is Astrobiology?

What is Astrobiology?

What is Chirality?

What is homochirality?

Why is life homochiral? amino-acids-remain-astrobiological-head-scratcher/

Our Model How homochirality emerged as a product of competitive selection in early life forms Built off recently published article: Racemization in Reverse - by Zhang and Sun – Enatiomers can be converted to opposite chirality through racemase enzymes

Our Model

Results

Results that pose further questions…

Significance of Results Shed new light on processes underlying the origins of life’s homochirality Possibility of false negatives since two homochiral life forms may co-exist Better information in using homochirality as a biosignature for the search for life
