Through comprehensive analysis, we not only monitored the evolution of key compounds such as CN-, sulfur\/H2S, H2 and carbonyl compounds, but also identified potential reagent carriers, indicating significant implications for the Strecker synthesis of amino acids in space environments. Initial examination revealed the presence of polypeptides, notably sequences including trimer Gly3, pentamer Gly3-Ala2, and hexamer Gly4-(HO-Gly)2. These discoveries greatly enhance our understanding of astrobiological chemistry, offering valuable insights into prebiotic processes and the potential presence of life-building blocks throughout the universe.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucas Fernandez, Farzaneh Yari, G\u00fcnter Hesser, Wolfgang Sch\u00f6fberger Chemistry &#8211; A European JournalFirst published: 20 August 2024 LINK (OPEN ACCESS)PDF (OPEN ACCESS) &#8220;This study explores the electrochemical properties of the carbonaceous Allende CV3 meteorite, focusing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,14,576],"tags":[108,1865,3273,1812,2867],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36593"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36593"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36606,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36593\/revisions\/36606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
