“…In the same way, it has been shown that formamide (Rubin et al 1971), acetamide (Hollis et al 2006), and aminoacetonitrile (Belloche et al 2008) were the most stable species of their generic families . The relatively high abundance of the isocyanide derivatives with respect to their more stable cyano counterparts (in view of the large bonding energy differences) has been ascribed to non-thermal processes in different interstellar environments (Remijan et al 2005).…”

“…The identification of more than 80 amino acids in meteorites, such as Murchison (Cooper et al 1992), is a positive clue about the presence of amino acids in space. In contrast, molecules with a peptide bond (NH-C=O), such as formamide (Rubin et al 1971) and acetamide (Hollis et al 2006), have been detected in interstellar clouds, and Halfen et al (2011) recently highlighted their importance as prototypes for peptide bond formation. Because of these compounds' relatively large abundance, Halfen et al suggest that they could be a possible source of larger peptide molecules that do not involve amino acids.…”

“…Two emission lines with 14N nuclear quadrupole hyperfine splitting have been found in each case, corresponding to the two lowest asymmetry doublets, 110-111 at a wavelength of 19 cm (palmer et al 1971) and 211-212 at 6 cm (Rubin et al 1971). The present search concerns the transition 312-313, which is the next highest asymmetry doublet in this series.…”
