About

    Chirality refers to the property of asymmetry in molecules, specifically in their three-dimensional structure. Chiral molecules are mirror images of each other, much like our hands are mirror images but cannot be superimposed. This property is important in fields such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology as chiral molecules can have different properties and interactions with other molecules. Studying chirality is crucial in understanding the behavior and applications of various chemical compounds, including drugs and pharmaceuticals.
