An astrophysically-relevant mechanism for amino acid enantiomer enrichment

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2007-04-27 DOI: 10.1039/B702882B

Abstract

The sublimation of low ee amino acids was examined while exploring simple mechanisms by which high ee amino acids can be generated under conditions that exist in space; significant enantioenrichment of a variety of amino acids by sublimation was achieved.
