Design, Synthesis, and Self-Organization of Nature- and Bio-Inspired Homochiral Helical Complex Systems

Helical homochirality is available in Nature, Biology and, most recently, also in synthetic systems. Selected examples of helical complex systems from Nature, Biology and synthetic chemistry will be briefly discussed, most probably for the first time, in a single publication. When available, the mechanisms of the origin of their homochirality will be presented. In order to encourage new discoveries, the historical events of many discoveries will also be highlighted. Potential connections between the homochirality in nature and biology as well as in nature- and bio-inspired macroscopic, molecular and supramolecular complex systems will be mentioned.
