Abstract

The results of the second stage of the RAMBAS (Radiation Mechanism of Biomolecular Asymmetry) experiment on the study of the radiation mechanism of the effect on chiral molecules are presented. The optical activity of samples containing racemic mixtures of amino acid complexes with heavy metals before and after their irradiation with an electron flux from a radioactive source was compared. It was shown that irradiation leads to asymmetric decomposition of amino acid complexes and amino acids themselves and chiral asymmetry formation. These results confirm the conclusions made in the first stage of the RAMBAS experiment and can be essential for solving the problem of the origin of life and the formation of chiral asymmetry of the biosphere.
