Chirality as an Environmental Forensics Tool

Persistent Organic Pollutants Edited by Stuart Harrad 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd [Pg.71]

The enantiomers of a chiral compound have identical physical and chemical properties. Accordingly, abiotic processes such as air-water exchange, sorption, and abiotic transformation are generally identical for both enantiomers. However, biochemical processes may differ among stereoisomers because they can interact differentially with other chiral molecules such as enzymes and biological receptors. Thus, enantiomers may have different biological and toxicological effects. [Pg.72]
