Right—hand, and you can't make them the same, you can't put them over each other and make them the same, but some molecules have the same property, they have a three dimensional shape that is not superimposed, they are mirror image forms of each other and those mirror image forms can have very different fx in terms of their chemistry, they can be used to control other reactions to make them asymmetric and they will interact with our bodies because almost all of our biomolecules also have this handedness, so asymmetric catalysis is extremely important if we are talking about making drugs, mak...
