| Abstract: | Experimental evidence that longitudinally polarized electrons having the handedness characteristic of terrestrial beta-decay electrons preferentially remove D-leucine from a racemic mixture, coupled with the probable presence of14C in pre-biotic molecules, offers a plausible hypothesis for the origin of biomolecular handedness. |
