Chiral Sugars Drive Enantioenrichment in Prebiotic Amino Acid Synthesis

[Image: see text] Chiral pentose sugars mediate the enantioselective synthesis of amino acid precursors, with the magnitude of the chiral induction dictated by a subtle cooperativity between sugar hydroxyl groups. Ribose and lyxose give opposite chiral preferences, and theoretical calculations revea...
