We made liquid phase measurements of water isotopomers and found dissimilar ortho/para ratio between H¹⁷₂O and H¹⁶₂O. Results indicate lower abundance of para-coupled ¹H¹H spins in H¹⁷₂O relative to H¹⁶₂O. We propose that this difference can be used to study the behavior of H¹⁷₂O during the chiral hydration of amino acids.
