Folding Applying a set of inverse symmetry operations on a set of points. This procedure is one of the main steps in the folding unfolding method for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Folding unfolding method A visual and computational procedure for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Fuzzy subset A set whose elements have a range of values corresponding to the degree of membership in the set. Fuzzy symmetry element/operator A symmetry element/operation at a given constant fuzzy level. Fuzzy symmetry group A fuzzy set that has a fuzzy symmetry element at a given constant fuzzy level. Hausdorff distance A metric defining the distance between a point and a set or between two sets. Symmetry deficiency measure A measure of symmetry on crisp or fuzzy sets. Unfolding Applying a set of symmetry operations on a set of points. This procedure is one of the main steps in the folding unfolding method for evaluating the CSM of a set of points.

Continuous symmetry analyses: Cnv and Dn measures of molecules, complexes, and proteins
The continuous symmetry methodology has been developed to provide a quantitative estimation for the degree of a selected symmetry point-group in a molecular structure. Previous developed measures included the C(S), C(n), S(n) (including C(i)) symmetries, several polyhedral symmetries, and the related chirality measure. Motivated by the abundance and importance of C(nv) symmetry in many key mole...
متن کاملA web site for calculating the degree of chirality.
The web site, http://www.csm.huji.ac.il/, uses the Continuous Chirality Measure to evaluate quantitatively the degree of chirality of a molecule, a structure, a fragment. The value of this measure ranges from zero, the molecule is achiral, to higher values (the upper limit is 100); the higher the chirality value, the more chiral the molecule is. The measure is based on the distance between the ...
متن کاملContinuous chirality measures in transition metal chemistry.
The definition of the continuous chirality measure(CCM) is provided and its applications are summarized in this tutorial review, with special emphasis on the field of transition metal complexes. The CCM approach, developed in recent years, provides a quantitative parameter that evaluates the degree of chirality of a given molecule. Many quantitative structural correlations with chirality have b...
متن کاملThe Role of Stochastic Models in Interpreting the Origins of Biological Chirality
This review summarizes recent stochastic modeling efforts in the theoretical research aimed at interpreting the origins of biological chirality. Stochastic kinetic models, especially those based on the continuous time discrete state approach, have great potential in modeling absolute asymmetric reactions, experimental examples of which have been reported in the past decade. An overview of the r...
متن کاملThe Central Correlations of Hypercharge, Isospin, Colour and Chirality in the Standard Model
The correlation of the fractionally represented hypercharge group with the isospin and colour group in the standard model determines as faithfully represented internal group the quotient group U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3) Z2×Z3 . The discrete cyclic central abelian-nonabelian internal correlation involved is considered with respect to its consequences for the representations by the standard model fields, t...
