Annotation
This article is devoted to the study of chiral properties of water configurations with achiral ions K$^+$ and Na$^+$ and with chiral biological molecules: L-, D-valin and L-, D–glycerate. Water system with ions was obtained using the Monte–Carlo method, a water shell of biological molecules was obtained using the Avogadro algorithm Conjiugate Gradients. It was revealed that addition of achiral impurities in a model water system does not change the 50/50 distribution of the number of right and left water configurations, and the addition of chiral molecules D-valine leads to the predominance of the left configurations in the sample.
