He formulated the fundamental law: asymmetry differentiates the organic world from the mineral world - symmetric molecules are always the product of life forces (Hyperlab, 2004; Rhee, 2004).

Pasteur then moved to the University of Strasbourg and continued his studies of molecular symmetry (Cohn, 1996). In 1854, he was appointed Dean and professor of chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences in Lille.
