| Abstract: | In a recent series of articles a novel interaction between chiral molecules such as proteins and a polar solvent has been proposed. This interaction is criticized by Tannhauser and Kuper on the basis of thermodynamics, and the purpose of this Reply is to show that thermodynamics per se can raise no objection to this interaction. Special attention is given to time-reversal invariance, which is violated by this interaction. A temporal interplay between relaxation and stochastic times τR and τ can cause a non-ergodic behavior of the system. |
