Homochirality is a uniformity of chirality, or handedness. Because the catalyst produces more of itself in autocatalysis, and because mutual antagonism allows. Organic chemistry prochirality lecture outline prochirality. For example, the left and right hands of a human are approximately mirror images of each other but are not their own mirror images, so they are chiral. People can view the slides even if they dont have powerpoint, but they cant make changes to it. Asymmetric amplification of this reaction occurs because the alkoxide of the product forms a multimer and the homochiral catalyst is more active than the heterochiral catalyst.
