Magnetic Circular Dichroism in Archean Stratospheric Oxygen: Enantiomeric Excess of Amino Acids Produced in Volcanic Plumes
{{output}}
While there is consensus that Archean atmosphere was anoxic with O2 pressure, p(O2) <10-6 PAL (present atmospheric level) at sea-level, evidence suggests that p(O2) at stratospheric altitudes of 10-50 km was orders of magnitude higher, a result of photodissoci... ...
