Nanoparticle-based Chemiluminescence for Chiral Discrimination of Thiol-Containing Amino Acids

Abstract The ability to recognize the molecular chirality of enantiomers is extremely important owing to their critical role in drug development and biochemistry. Convenient discrimination of enantiomers has remained a challenge due to lack of unsophisticated methods. In this work, we have reported...
