Abstract

Considerable amounts of amino acids were formed in a mixture containing diammonium hydrogen phosphate, ammonium molybdate, formaldehyde, and mineral salts. Amino acids synthesized in the mixture were glycine, arginine, histidine, aspartic acid, cysteine, and alanine. Under similar conditions the amount of amino acids formed enhanced with the increase in the concentration of diammonium hydrogen phosphate up to 5 to 8 g per 40 ml of the mixture. On increasing the formaldehyde the amount of amino acid formation increased up to 6 ml of formaldehyde in the 80 ml of mixture. Presence of ammonium molybdate, though necessary for the formation of spherical particles in the mixture, did not effect the formation of amino acids.
