d-Amino acid recognition of tripeptides studied by ultraviolet photodissociation spectroscopy of hydrogen-bonded clusters

Kanako Inoue et al.

Summary: Understanding the chemical properties of d-amino acids in living organisms is crucial for comprehending their roles. In this study, the recognition of d-amino acids in peptides was investigated using a tandem mass spectrometer. The results showed that the evaporation of water molecules was the main photodissociation pathway for d-Trp ASA clusters.

Formation and evolution of carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu: Direct evidence from returned samples

T. Nakamura et al.

Summary: The Hayabusa2 brought back samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu to Earth, which were analyzed. The analysis showed that there are carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials formed at high temperatures and are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature and high pH. Numerical simulations suggest that Ryugu's parent body formed about 2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Soluble organic molecules in samples of the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Hiroshi Naraoka et al.

Summary: The Hayabusa2 spacecraft successfully collected samples from the surface of the asteroid Ryugu and brought them back to Earth. Analyzing the organic molecules extracted from the samples, researchers found a variety of compounds formed by different reactions. These compounds, including amino acids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are likely of non-biological origin and could have been formed through aqueous reactions on Ryugu's parent body, similar to organics found in meteorites.

Uracil in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Yasuhiro Oba et al.

Summary: Scientists have found uracil from the asteroid sample, which may have played a role in the early chemical evolution on Earth. They also discovered other organic molecules, including racemic amino acids. This study strongly suggests that prebiotic molecules like uracil commonly formed in carbonaceous asteroids and were delivered to the early Earth.

Chemical properties of inner and surficial regions of hydrogen-bonded clusters of biological molecules: ultraviolet photodissociation and water adsorption analyses in the gas phase

Kanako Inoue et al.

Summary: The chemical and physical properties of hydrogen-bonded clusters were investigated using tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed different interactions between molecules with different chirality and the adsorption of water molecules affected the stability of the hydrogen-bonded cluster.

Identifying the wide diversity of extraterrestrial purine and pyrimidine nucleobases in carbonaceous meteorites

Yasuhiro Oba et al.

Summary: All DNA/RNA nucleobases have been found in carbonaceous meteorites, and these nucleobases may have played a role in the emergence of genetic functions in early life on Earth. The lack of pyrimidine diversity in meteorites remains a mystery, but this study demonstrates that meteoritic nucleobases could serve as building blocks of DNA and RNA on the early Earth, potentially generated through photochemical reactions in the interstellar medium.

Quantification of monosaccharide enantiomers using optical properties of hydrogen-bonded tryptophan

Hiromori Murashima et al.

Summary: The study investigated chiral recognition between amino acids and monosaccharides in the gas phase as a model for chemical evolution in interstellar molecular clouds. Results showed that the optical properties of Trp in the clusters induced by 285-nm photoexcitation were useful for identifying and quantifying pentose enantiomers. Additionally, pentose enantiomeric excess in solution could be determined from relative abundances observed in a single product ion spectrum of 285-nm photoexcited hydrogen-bonded clusters of H+(L-Trp) and pentose.

UVPD spectroscopy of differential mobility-selected prototropic isomers of protonated adenine

Fiorella Villanueva Heldmaier et al.

Summary: Two prototropic isomers of adenine were analyzed using a combination of a differential mobility spectrometer, mass spectrometer, and photodissociation method, resulting in the determination of action spectra for each isomer. The study successfully assigned the two signals in the measured ionograms to specific tautomers through analysis of the action spectra, calculated vibronic spectra, and thermochemical data.
