Labels:bulletin board | reckoner OCR: Careful analvses elucidated many of the chemical reactions that occurred in the experiment and thus might have occurred on the prebiotic planet First the gases in the "atmosphere" reacted to form suite of simple organic compounds including hydrogen cyanide HCN) and aldehydes (compounds containing the group CHO) The aldehydes then combined with ammonia and hydrogen cyanide to generate intermediary products called aminonitriles, which interacted with water in the "ocean' to produce amino acids and ammonia Glycine was the most abundant amino acid resulting from the combination of formaldehyde (CH20 ammonia and hvdroger cyanide surprising number of the standard 20 amino acids were also made in lesser amounts Since then, workers have subjected many different mixtures of simple gases to various ...
