Enantiomeric excess by magnetic circular dichroism in Archaean atmosphere

Evolution of homochirality requires an initial enantiomeric excess (EE) between right and left-handed biomolecules. We show that magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of sun’s ultraviolet C light by oxygen in Archaean earth’s anoxic atmosphere followed by chirally selective damage of biomolecules due to...
