Experimental attempts to validate the Vester-Ulbricht hypothesis only led to poorly conclusive results.
“From the sixties to the eighties, 212-220 many experimental attempts to show the validity of the ''V-U hypothesis'', generally by photolysis of amino acids in the presence of a number of b-emitting radionuclides or through self-irradiation of 14 C-labeled amino acids, only led to poorly conclusive results.”

The term enantiomeric cross-inhibition describes experiments in which the rate of polymerization and/or the length of polymers were significantly reduced when non-enantiopure mixtures were used instead of enantiopure ones.
“More precisely, the term enantiomeric cross-inhibition was coined to describe experiments for which the rate of the polymerization reaction and/or the length of the polymers were significantly reduced when non-enantiopure mixtures were used instead of enantiopure ones.24,44”

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.
