Something cool, a new angle on why biomolecules are of just one handedness.

Cosmic Rays May Explain Life’s Bias for Right-Handed DNA

Cosmic rays may have given right-handed genetic helixes an evolutionary edge at the beginning of life’s history.

Digesting this.
A plant I worked at made peptides, some of the processes were done with deliberate timing of lunar cycles when production would allow. This timing resulted in a higher rate of production of the isomer they were trying to make. All this over my head I was just the safety guy trying to reduce exposures to the nasties. Its a right hander's world seems logical there is a left hander's world.

I can only carry so much guilt before I buckle under. Last week I came into work for three days and worked on the yards. (although I drew the line at scraping, sanding and painting) Everyone here takes over a hour for lunch, and it takes about 10 minutes to eat. So I walked down to the creek off the side yard. If I hadn't taken my little hiking rod and reel out of the car for fishing off the dock at the river house, I would have tried my luck. Instead I just had a safety meeting and listened to music.

I have done chiral (handed molecules) work in grad school and at work. I must admit: I never heard of an effect from lunar or other planetary cycles.
