Dedication To Beate, Sabrina, and Rebecca.

Preface What can more resemble my hand or my ear, and be more equal in all points, than its image in a mirror? And yet, I cannot put such a hand as is seen in the mirror in the place of its original; for if the one was a right hand, then the other in the mirror is a left, and the image of the right ear is a left one, which can never take the place of the former. —Immanuel Kant Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics That Will Be Able to Come Forward as Science (1783)

As stated by Immanuel Kant in 1783 in his discourse on metaphysics [1], a chiral object and its mirror image, although looking alike, are nevertheless incongruent. This epistemological analysis of a philosopher is also true in nature with regard to the interaction of chiral compounds with chiral biological
