  1. Abstract This work presents new results and summarizes literature results on the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect observed for amino acids, peptides, and DNA. To facilitate robust comparisons between measurements of different types and by different groups, we propose a convention for describing the spin‐dependent properties of chiral materials and apply it in the discussion. Different phenomena known to affect the sign and magnitude of the spin polarization are described and critically analyzed, including: the molecule's orientation, the molecule's dipole moment direction with respect to the electron propagation direction, the molecular length, the molecule/substrate interface, and the role of the molecule's secondary structure. Lastly, we identify open key questions about spin‐filtering by biomolecules at interfaces.
