Mechanism for toxicity

" (+)anatoxin-a, is 150 fold more potent than the synthetic negative enantiomer, (−)anatoxin-a.[8] This is thought to be the case because (+)anatoxin-a, the s-cis enone conformation, has a distance a 6.0 Ao between its nitrogen and carbonyl group, which corresponds well to the 5.9 Ao distance that separate the nitrogen and oxygen in acetylcholine". Well, and now guess what's that distance in the (-)-enantiomer... :D --FK1954 (talk) 21:14, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Enantioselective enolization

This method for anatoxin-a production was one of the first used that does not utilize a chimerically analogous starting substance for anatoxin formation

What's a chimeric analogue? Sounds like some molecule from hell combined with another molecule from hell. Do they start with a non-chiral (racemic) compound, or an achiral compound here? I am not sure if this is a typo or if it is right, I have not been able to read the reference.
