what about chirality?

  They have 50% and 50%. Also, "complex" is very small, like 20-30 atoms. I think someone found small polymers with 100. A lot for not-live stuff, but tiny in comparison to the molecules inside a cell.

    Do you have a source for the 50/50 chirality?

      :( I assumed it because they are inorganic reactions. One way to detect a different ratio is using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimetry#Measuring_optical_rotation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimetry#Measuring_optical_... I searched in Google for a while, I found some polarized astronomical source but not mention about rotation.
