摘要：

A molecular dynamics model of binary racemic fluid mixtures, consisting of particles which only differ a little with respect to the pair attractions, shows that the isomerization kinetics in condensed slates can act as a driver towards a phase separation and a symmetry break so that one of the species finally dominates. The model offers a possible explanation of the origin of biomolecular chirality.
