Evidence for sodium-rich alkaline water in the Tagish Lake parent body and implications for amino acid synthesis and racemization
Understanding the timing and mechanisms of amino acid synthesis and racemization on asteroidal parent bodies is key to demonstrating how amino acids evolved to be mostly left-handed in living organisms on Earth. It has been postulated that racemization can occur rapidly dependent on several factors,...
