title: [Biomedical aspects of the stereoisomerism of biomolecules].
abstract: A concept of "racemate lock" has been proposed. This "lock" switches off certain biochemical processes in an organism by increasing concentration of nonspecific stereoisomer of the corresponding metabolite. A program of research of this concept has been discussed.
