Amino acids are found in two mirror imagery forms, the ratio of which can provide evidence of biological processes. An electric nanogap sensor distinguishes these L and D forms with more than 80 percent accuracy using artificial intelligence. In samples of the Murchison meteorite and from the Atacama desert, the process also captured the most important patterns of amino acid composition. Osaka (Japan). Many amino acids are chiral and occur in tw…
