- Human biology has a preference for left-handed chiral molecules and an outstanding question is if this is imposed through astrophysical origins. We aim to evaluate the known information about chiral molecules within astrophysical and astrochemical databases, evaluate chemical modeling accuracy, and use high-level CCSD(T) calculations to characterize propylene oxide and other oxirane variants. By comparing these computational values with past laboratory experiments, we find a 99.9% similarity. We also have put together a new database dedicated to chiral molecules and variants of chiral molecules to assist in answering this question.
