**In the beginning** the origin of life involved a series of homochiral chemical reactions. Some of these may have involved serine and its homochiral octamer, as shown. Many of these reactions occur in a chirally selective fashion. The chiral exchange reactions favor the enantiomers present in moder
## Abstract Recent MS studies have suggested that serine clusters could have played a role in the origin of homochirality on Earth. Aqueous serine solutions have been probed in order to see if serine clusters, such as those observed by MS, are present in solution. IR measurements as well as NMR che
