✦ Synopsis

ammonium bicarbonate or formate to amino acids is about lx10-3% or 3 • 10 -2 % (data for 2 h), respectively. These findings suggest one possibility for the prebiotic synthesis of amino acid from simple organic or inorganic ammonium salts tinder possible prebiotic conditions on the primordial earth.
