Open publisher page 54 citations

Abstract

Abstract The Yamato-791198 carbonaceous chondrite yielded indigenous amino acids. These consitst of various structural and optical isomers, indicating abiotic in origin. The amount of these amino acids is the largest of carbonaceous chondrites studied so far. Terrestrial organic contamination was nil to this chondrite.
