摘要: Engel and Macko 1 have reported that alanine indigenous to the Murchison meteorite has an l-enantiomer excess of about 33%. Furthermore, they very similar δ15nitrogen values for l-alanine d-alanine; these are quite high in comparison with those terrestrial amino acids. On this basis, argued contamination by can be ruled out because, if it contributed excess, lower 15N content would significantly δ15N value observed l-alanine.
