Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative enantioseparation of amino acids by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography applied to non-terrestrial samples.
Iuliia Myrgorodska,Cornelia Meinert,Zita Martins,Louis Le Sergeant d'Hendecourt,Uwe J. Meierhenrich +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that comprehensive two dimensional chromatography, in combination with the optimized derivatization method is a highly suitable technique for the analysis of samples with very limited quantities and containing potentially prebiotic molecules, such as interstellar ice analogs and meteorites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Astrophysical Formation of Asymmetric Molecules and the Emergence of a Chiral Bias.
Adrien D. Garcia,Cornelia Meinert,Haruna Sugahara,Nykola C. Jones,Søren Vrønning Hoffmann,Uwe J. Meierhenrich +5 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the discoveries in amino acids, sugars, and organophosphorus compounds in meteorites, comets, and laboratory-simulated interstellar ices and discusses their interactions with CPL in the ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) regions, their abiotic chiral or achiral synthesis, and their enantiomeric distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochirogenesis: Photochemical Models on the Origin of Biomolecular Homochirality
Cornelia Meinert,Jean-Jacques Filippi,Laurent Nahon,Søren Vrønning Hoffmann,Louis Le Sergeant d'Hendecourt,Pierre de Marcellus,Jan Hendrik Bredehöft,Wolfram Thiemann,Uwe J. Meierhenrich +8 more
TL;DR: Recent studies on enantioselective photolysis of racemic amino acids by circularly polarized light and experiments on the asymmetric photochemical synthesis of amino acids from only one C and one N containing molecules by simulating interstellar environments are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light on Chirality: Absolute Asymmetric Formation of Chiral Molecules Relevant in Prebiotic Evolution.
Iuliia Myrgorodska,Cornelia Meinert,Søren Vrønning Hoffmann,Nykola C. Jones,Laurent Nahon,Uwe J. Meierhenrich +5 more
TL;DR: An overview of the role of chiral molecules in prebiotic evolution with special emphasis on their chiroptical properties and absolute asymmetric photosynthesis is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conception of the ‘chirality-experiment’ on esa's mission rosetta to comet 46P/wirtanen
TL;DR: Far-reaching results are expected to investigate the various hypotheses about the first asymmetric synthesis as a consequence of COSAC's 'Chirality-Experiment', designed to identify organic molecules in the cometary matter in situ.
