Abstract

The first results of the RAMBAS (Radiation Mechanism of Biomolecular Asymmetry) experiment on the study of the radiation mechanism of the effect on chiral molecules as a factor leading to chiral asymmetry formation are presented. It was found that irradiation with an electron flux from a radioactive source of a mixture of simple achiral materials initiates synthesis of the simplest amino acids; in a racemic mixture of complexes of amino acids and metals irradiation leads to asymmetric decomposition and chiral asymmetry formation. The results obtained can be essential for solving the problem of the origin of life and the formation of chiral asymmetry of the biosphere.
