This is quite relevant to a recent conversation on mirror life and glycans held at #Glyco27 and really headed by @giaglyco.bsky.social member Ratmir Derda @ualberta

A few months back some were calling for a ban against synthesising mirror proteins, arguing there are unnatural.

Though rare, perhaps not as rare as once thought, and some are natural 🧪
