Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Chirality can be induced in organic molecules by photosynthesis or photolysis using left or right circularly polarized light.

    “According to Kagan, Buchardt, and Bonner (Bonner, 1994)chirality can be induced in organic molecules by photosynthesis or photolysis using left or right CPL.”

  • Chiral molecules in living organisms exist almost exclusively as a single set of enantiomers, a property critical for molecular recognition and replication processes.

    “Chiral molecules in living organisms exist almost exclusively as single set of enantiomers, a property that is critical for molecular recognition and replication processes.”

  • There are two possible explanations for the origin of chiral symmetry breaking in the cosmos: a parity violating energy difference between more stable L-amino acids and less stable D-amino acids, based on parity violation in weak interactions; and degradation of one enantiomer caused by chiral cosmic forces such as circularly polarized light, resulting in enrichment (0.1% ee) of L- over D-aminoacı

    “Thus far, there would be two possible explanations for the origin of chiral symmetry breaking in the cosmos: (1) the parity violating energy difference between more stable molecules (i.e. L-amino acids and less stable D-amino acids), based on parity violation in the weak interactions, and (2) the degradation of one enantiomer caused by chiral cosmic forces such as circularly polarized light (CPL),”

  • Bonner et al. experimentally showed asymmetrical adsorption of alanine by D- and L-quartz, measuring radioactivity loss when radioactive D- or L-alanine hydrochlorides were adsorbed to the extent of 20 to 30 percent.

    “In 1994, Bonner et al., (Bonner, 1994) experimentally showed the asymmetrical adsorption of alanine by D- and L- quartz measuring the radioactivity loss when radioactive D- or L-alanines hydrochlorides were adsorbed to the extent of 20 to 30 percent.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
