And in the same way, as our hands are chiral, molecules can be chiral.

同样的，手是手性的，分子也可以是手性的。

So, we have a transfer of the chiral information from the catalyst to the products.

手性信息从催化剂转移到了产物上。

In thalidomide, for example, the chiral center is a carbon atom attached to one of the rings.

例如在萨力多胺中，手性中心是一个吸附在一个结构环上的碳原子。

An asymmetric organocatalysis that means that the catalyst, our small well-defined organic catalyst is asymmetric, that it's chiral.

不对称有机催化也就是说，我们的小而明确的有机催化剂是不对称的，是手性的。

A chiral molecule has an atom—typically carbon—with four different groups attached to it.

手性分子有一个原子——典型的碳原子——有四个不同的组吸附原子上。

Chiral comes from the Greek for hand or claw, and chemists often think of chiral molecules as being right-handed or left-handed.

手性一词来源于希腊指手或爪，化学家们通常将手性分子当成是右撇子或左撇子。

And that's because the different versions of chiral molecules—called enantiomers —are made up of all the same parts, but arranged differently.

这是因为手性分子的不同变体——即对映体——是由所有相同部分组成，但是却以不同形式排列。

And that’s because the different versions of chiral molecules — called enantiomers — are made up of all the same parts, but arranged differently.

那是因为不同版本的手性分子— — 称为对映体—— 由所有相同的部分组成， 但排列不同。

So, our hands are mirror images of each other, they are chiral because we cannot put one on top of the other and make them look identical.

我们的手是彼此的镜像，它们是手性的，它们并不完全重合。

Thalidomide, which is made up of three connected rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms, plus some oxygen and hydrogen, is what's known as a chiral molecule.

萨力多胺，由三个碳原子和氮原子的连接环以及一些氧和氢组成，也被称为手性分子。
