These results are significant because chiral molecular clusters are fundamentally interesting. Understanding the origins of their enantioselectivity contributes to a general understanding of how small molecules may recognize chirality in reaction partners and accumulate enantiomeric excess.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/rcm.70182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T06:46:23Z","timestamp":1789627583000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["On Serine Octamer Substitution Reactions"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5250-5882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brison A.","family":"Shira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry Purdue University  West Lafayette Indiana USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alana K.
