Abstract
All biomolecules are of one hand — but what determines which hand Why is life based on Lamino acids and Dsugars rather than Damino acids and Lsugars We believe the symmetrybreaker could be the weak force which causes enantiomers to differ very slightly in energy In this paper we present our calculations of this parityviolating energy difference PVED for a range of important biomolecules and in nearly all cases it is indeed the ‘natural’ enantiomer which is the more stable
