• The pH of Enceladus’ ocean (2015, background): “Simple amino acids (such as those in meteorites and comets; Pizzarello et al., 2006; Elsila et al., 2009) with one carboxyl and one amino group (e.g., glycine) should exist predominately as aqueous monoanions, so they would be present in the plume particles and not in the gas phase if they are…”
• Complex organic molecules in the interstellar medium: IRAM 30 m line survey of Sagittarius B2(N) and (M) (2013, background): “More recently, the detection of glycine (NH2CH2COOH), the simplest amino acid, has even been claimed in samples from comet 81P/Wild 2 returned to Earth by NASA’s Stardust spacecraft (Elsila et al. 2009).”
• A THREE-PHASE CHEMICAL MODEL OF HOT CORES: THE FORMATION OF GLYCINE (2013, background): “However, numerous amino acids have been found in meteorites, and glycine was recently detected in a sample taken from comet Wild 2 (Elsila et al. 2009); it has indeed been postulated that terrestrial amino acids may have an interstellar origin (e.g. Ehrenfreund & Charnley 2000).”
• Our astrochemical heritage (2012, background): “To this list one has to add the recent detection of glycine, the simplest of amino acids, in the 81P/Wild2 comet by the mission STARDUST (Elsila et al. 2009).”
