How calcium may have guided early molecular directionality![]() ![]() Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 30, 2025 A new investigation from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has revealed that calcium ions may have played a critical role in shaping life's early molecular asymmetry. This discovery adds a fresh dimension to the enduring question of how biological molecules acquired a consistent chirality, or handedness, during the origin of life. Just as human hands are mirror images of one another, many organic molecules also appear in left- and right-handed forms. However, li ... read more |
