Molecular Control and Characterization of Chiral Hydrogen-bond Networks
Chirality and water both play key roles in various aspects of biological functions and disentangling water’s role in chiral recognition in biological processes is paramount to ultimately understanding the origins of homochirality. HydroChiral proposes to do this by developing ground-breaking instrumentation that uses broadband molecular rotational spectroscopy combined with supersonic expansions, buffer gas cell technology, and novel chiral capabilities to explore pressings topics at the forefront of water research and chirality such as the generation and characterization of chiral water, the generation of larger water clusters to examine the first solvation shell, and absolute…
