Best Answer

One of the big problems in Biology is to figure out how nature selected only left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars for our bodies even though synthesizing these gives us a mixture of both left and right. There must be some mechanism that selects one molecule over the other. Having order or (wiggle room) maximizes entropy. There still seems to be a problem in nature and still no real explanation for nature's preferences for L-amino acids and D-sugars.
