Abstract
The energy of parity-violation associated with a typical RNA double helix is estimated with ab initio techniques. It is shown that weak nuclear interactions do not favour the formation of the double helices found in nature. Possible implications regarding the potential effect on the evolution of biological homochirality are discussed.
