 β represents the relative amount of the heterochiral complex (MLRLS) as shown in Equation 3.It is important to recognize that the equilibrium constant K is independent on both β and g. As described by Donna Blackmond at Scripps Research Institute, "the parameter K is an inherent property of the catalyst mixture, independent of the eecatalyst.K is also independent of the catalytic reaction itself, and therefore independent of the parameter g."
