Abstract
A hitherto unreported human body narcissistic inversion which is an example of the rubber glove act has been uncovered from a Chinese acrobatic performance. This inversion is related to the unimolecular enantiomerizations of chiral molecules, a topological figure and a rubber glove via chiral pathway. The possible mechanism of enantiomerization of an unknown cyclopolypetide based on this finding is suggested. The importance of chemical topology in biomolecules is stressed.
