Abstract:Amino acids are essential for the synthesis of protein. Amino acids contain both amine (R–NH2) and carboxylic acid (R–COOH) functional groups, which help to understand the possible formation mechanism of life in the universe. Among the 20 types of amino acids, glycine (NH2CH2COOH) is known as the simplest non-essential amino acid. In the last 40 years, all surveys of NH2CH2COOH in the interstellar medium, especially in the star-formation regions, have failed at the millimetre and sub-millimetre wavelengths. We… Show more
