Unequal amounts of enantiomers were found in Murchison meteorite with a quasi-exclusive predominance for (S)-amino acids, ranging from 0 to 26.3 +/- 0.8% e.e. values, with the highest e.e. measured for non-proteinogenic alpha-methyl amino acids.
“Unequal amounts of enantiomers were also found with a quasiexclusive predominance for (S)-amino acids 57,285,[438][439][440] ranging from 0 to 26.3 Æ 0.8% e.e. values (highest e.e. being measured for non-proteinogenic a-methyl amino acids), 441”

The high enantiomeric excesses detected for (S)-isovaline in certain stones of the Murchison meteorite, up to 15.2 +/- 0.2%, suggest that CPL alone cannot be at the origin of this enantioenrichment.

There likely were biases in the inventory of compounds delivered to the Earth by comets and meteorites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
