Researchers of Tomsk Polytechnic University with colleagues from the Czech Republic have developed supersensitive sensors for detecting enantiomers, known as “mirror molecules,” in drugs. These molecules can reduce drug effectiveness or even be harmful to humans. Experiments revealed that the developed sensors have high sensitivity compared to traditional methods. They use organometallic frameworks as traps for enantiomers. The studies are published in Applied Materials Today.
