Chiral selection, isotopic abundance shifts, and autocatalysis of meteoritic amino acids

The discovery of amino acids in meteorites has presented two clues to the origin of their processing subsequent to their formation: a slight preference for left-handedness in some of them and isotopic anomalies in some of their constituent atoms. Numerous models have been developed to explain these...
