A Comparison of the Amino Acids Synthesized in Miller-Urey and Titan Simulations and Those Found in Carbonaceous Chondrites

抄録

We report here a comparison of the amino acid products of Miller-Urey type spark discharge experiments, low temperature Titan atmospheric chemistry experiments and the amino acids found in cabonaceous chondrites as measured by highly-sensitive LC-MS. There does appear to be a large degree of similarity of the products of these different materials which may require a novel mechanism of synthesis to explain.
