Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The theory of an autotrophic origin of life postulates a primordial formation of amino acids by a mild and specific chemical energy source, namely by the reductive amination of alpha-oxo acids in conjunction with the oxidative formation of pyrite. Here we show experimental proof for this reaction, which involves carbon dioxide as catalyst.
