On this episode…
Mirror life refers to a hypothetical form of life where all molecular building blocks exist in a mirrored version of natural biological structures. In chemistry, many biological molecules exhibit chirality, meaning they exist in left-handed and right-handed forms.
However, life on Earth predominantly uses one chirality—DNA and RNA, for example, are composed of right-handed sugars, while proteins are made from left-handed amino acids.
