Furthermore, chemists often want to synthesize one of two possible mirror-image forms, or chiral molecules. Concern over possible or demonstrated negative side effects from one of the enantiomers has accelerated the effort to market single enantiomer or chiral pure drugs. On another front, biocatalysis provides major advantages over standard chemical syntheses, such as its use in producing chiral compounds with lower production costs than synthetic techniques. |
