Alternate Life Form: Mirror bacteria could pose unprecedented risks
Many of the building blocks of life, such as nucleic acid and proteins, are asymmetrical. They can exist in one of two possible mirror-image forms, and their mirror images cannot be superimposed on each other. For instance, amino acids are predominantly “left-handed”, while sugars are “right-handed”. This property is known as chirality, and it plays a critical role in the building blocks of life.
