Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of the amino acid L-isovaline by aqueous alteration on CI and CM meteorite parent bodies.
TL;DR: The large asymmetry in isovaline and other α-dialkyl amino acids found in altered CI and CM meteorites suggests that amino acids delivered by asteroids, comets, and their fragments would have biased the Earth's prebiotic organic inventory with left-handed molecules before the origin of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding prebiotic chemistry through the analysis of extraterrestrial amino acids and nucleobases in meteorites
TL;DR: This tutorial review focuses on meteoritic amino acids and nucleobases, exploring modern analytical methods and possible formation mechanisms, and discusses the unique window that meteorites provide into the chemistry that preceded life on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primordial synthesis of amines and amino acids in a 1958 Miller H2S-rich spark discharge experiment
Eric T. Parker,H. J. Cleaves,Jason P. Dworkin,Daniel P. Glavin,Michael P. Callahan,Andrew D. Aubrey,Antonio Lazcano,Jeffrey L. Bada +7 more
TL;DR: The relative yield of some amino acids, in particular the isomers of aminobutyric acid, are the highest ever found in a spark discharge experiment, suggesting that H2S may have played an important role in prebiotic reactions in early solar system environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In situ measurements at Gale crater made over a 5-year period by the Tunable Laser Spectrometer on the Curiosity rover show large seasonal variation in the background and occurrences of higher temporary spikes that are consistent with small localized sources of methane released from martian surface or subsurface reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and Evolution of Prebiotic Organic Matter As Inferred from the Tagish Lake Meteorite

TL;DR: A systematic study of variations in the mineralogy, petrology, and soluble and insoluble organic matter in distinct fragments of the Tagish Lake meteorite finds that the variations correlate with indicators of parent body aqueous alteration.
