The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...

We study theoretically the chirality of a generic rigid object's sedimentation in a fluid under gravity in the low Reynolds number regime. We represent the object as a collection of small Stokes spheres or stokeslets and the gravitational force as a constant point force applied at an arbitrary point of the object. For a generic configuration of stokeslets and forcing point, the motion takes a s...

Self-consistent solutions for the so-called planar and chiral rotational bands in 132La are obtained for the first time within the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock cranking approach. It is suggested that the chiral rotation cannot exist below a certain critical frequency which under the approximations used is estimated as Planck's omega(crit) approximately 0.5-0.6 MeV. However, the exact values of Planck's ...

Racemic omega-substituted caprolactones can be completely converted into chiral polyesters of remarkable MW and high ee by combining lipase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization with Ru-catalyzed racemization.

Enantiopure chiral amines synthesis using omega-transaminases is hindered by an unfavourable equilibrium, but when using isopropylamine as the amine donor the equilibrium can be completely displaced by using a specific dehydrogenase in situ for removal of formed acetone.

Generation of circularly-polarized high-harmonics with the same helicity to all orders is indispensable for chiral-sensitive spectroscopy attosecond temporal resolution. Solid-state samples have added a valuable asset in controlling polarization emitted harmonics. However, maintaining identical harmonics daunting task. In this work, we demonstrate robust recipe efficient generation helicity. Fo...

The enzyme omega-transaminase catalyses the conversion of chiral omega-amines to ketones. The recombinant enzyme from Chromobacterium violaceum has been purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was crystallized from PEG 4000 using the microbatch method. Data were collected to 1.7 A resolution from a crystal belonging to the triclinic space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a = 58.9, b = 61.9, c = ...

Enantiomerically pure chiral amines are valuable chemical compounds due to their unique ability as intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry. They can be produced by traditional chemical routes, for example by crystallization with chiral carboxylic acids and enantioselective reduction of C = N bonds. However, their chemical synthesis remains a challenge. The possibility of preparing chiral am...

We show that the origin of the universal optical conductivity in a normal N-layer graphene multilayer is an emergent chiral symmetry which guarantees that sigma(omega) = Nsigma_{uni} in both low and high-frequency limits. [sigma_{uni} = (pi/2)e;{2}/h]. We use this physics to relate intermediate frequency conductivity trends to qualitative characteristics of the multilayer stacking sequence.
