title: DNA vs. mirror-image DNA: a universal approach to tune the absolute configuration in DNA-based asymmetric catalysis.
abstract: Mirror mirror on the wall: By taking advantage of the unique structural features of L-DNA, the first examples of left-helical enantioselective induction in the field of DNA-based asymmetric catalysis were realized. Most importantly, this approach is the only one that allows a reliable and predictable access to both enantiomers for any given reaction.
