Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to Kagan and Soai for Solving a Mystery of Asymmetry in the Chemistry of Life"

I value this award because it recognizes research with a long history in organic chemistry, and it has been given to two people who have figured out why nature is homochiral—why it can choose between two paths in terms of chirality but chooses only one. Until then, no one had been able to solve this mystery. It was a mystery. 

Our DNA and our proteins are chiral in nature; there are two possibilities—they are molecules that rotate light in only one direction or the other—and it was a mystery why some do so and others do not. These two individuals have figured out why nature is homochiral.
