Enantiomeric excess is a concept from chemistry. Enantiomers refer specifically to a type of isomerism where the two molecules are identical in every way, except that they’re mirror images of one another. The ability to possess a mirror image is a property called “chirality”. The 3-dimensional shape of your hand is chiral. Your left and right hands are, in a sense, enantiomers of one another. Enantiomeric excess sets up the idea of chirality using a spiral, which is a chiral object in 2-dimensions. Very fine line details in black ink also represent chiral objects, but in both handedness or both enantiomers. There is a preponderance of one type of enantiomer. If you know a chemist, a biochemist, or someone who works in pharmaceuticals, :“Enantiomeric Excess”, the drawing, can function as a talking point as well as art. In chiral separations, synthesis, and analysis, a chiral environment (the marker spiral) is used to sense and sort chiral molecular objects (the black ink drawi...

(easy peasy checkout) Statement: Art can illuminate even the most elusive and difficult to comprehend ideas. Scientific imagery can be as impenetrable as well as intriguing and beautiful. Analysis of many technical diagrams, presentations of data, and scientific images is a set of commonly accepted rules that are learned and internalized over years of study and publication. These rules and tightly codified visual metaphors help scientists communicate complex ideas mostly amongst themselves, but they could also become barriers to new ideas and insights. Valluzzi's images are abstracted and diverge from the typical rules and...
