The mirror protease only works on mirror peptides, which means, by the law of mirror-image symmetry that applies to chiral molecules, that regular proteases would likewise be unable to cut down mirror-image peptides.

Your hands are chiral body parts, because when placed over one another, they line up perfectly yet are shaped reflectively.

Effectively, and functionally, a molecule and its chiral mirror image are two different molecules.

A particular advantage of the new technique is that it also works with chiral antiferromagnetic materials.

"Our findings are significant for the thermoelectric imaging of spintronic components. We have already demonstrated this with chiral antiferromagnets," says Woltersdorf.
