Some scientists trying to create "mirror life" have stopped in their tracks. A mirror microorganism could end up being a major pathogen since immune systems wouldn't notice it. Mirror-image biology ...

A league of scientists are calling for a critical discussion on the dangers of life forms made up of 'mirror-image molecules', because of the significant risks these creations may pose to global ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

The ribosome is one of the most iconic machines in molecular biology—a complex structure that reads a recipe written in RNA to assemble amino acid building blocks into new proteins. Ting Zhu of ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully fabricated and characterized a fully functional mirror-image nanopore—a molecular gateway built entirely from D-amino acids, the mirror-image forms of ...

Most biological molecules are chiral entities where their mirror images have different structures and functional characteristics. Scientists have begun synthesizing left-handed DNA and RNA and ...
