Insights into Abiotically-Generated Amino Acid Enantiomeric Excesses Found in Meteorites

Biology exhibits homochirality, in that only one of two possible molecular configurations (called enantiomers) is used in both proteins and nucleic acids. The origin of this phenomenon is currently unknown, as nearly all known abiotic mechanisms for generating these compounds result in equal (racemi...
