Abstract
The process through which an extremely weak parity violating interaction, of energy Δ E, can become the selector of molecular chirality over a sufficiently long time is discussed. For a model system it is shown that Δ E ≈ 5 × 10 -15 kT can give a 90% selectivity in about 300 h - smaller Δ E being relevant to prebiotic evolution.
