Amino Acids and Chirality

摘要: Amino acids are at the heart of this book, and chapter discusses them in a general way—for non-experts organic chemistry. It also linear circular polarization light, again for non-experts. This leads to discussion Buckingham ­effect (Chem Phys Lett 398:1, 2004; Chem 324:111, 2006), by which one can discriminate between left- right-handed amino given right conditions. A short description quantum mechanics, non-experts, shows how would manifest itself chiral molecules. Then more complex molecules life—DNA RNA—are discussed, as well possible means they might be produced once have been produced. Finally, evidence is presented suggests that usually assumed hostile environment outer space provide nursery basic
