... amino acids that are synthesis naturally (biologically) consist of a majority of L-aa and little D-aa. While those synthesis in the lab is always racemic (i.e. amount of D : L = ~1).. Most of the amino acids in our body are L-amino acids.. consequently the secondary structure of the proteins shud ...

Hi, it's me again, Victor..I wanna ask a bit about protein.. Actually, I wonder that is protein chiral or not?? some books said that protein is racemic but what I think that inside human body, protein is made from S-amino acid...... so, if those S-amino acid stuck together to form, let's say secondary ...

... famous experiment known as the Miller-Urey Experiment that show some possible evidence of abiogenesis. The Miller-Urey experiment proved that a racemic mixture of amino acids could be produced under controlled conditions. It proved nothing more. It is a huge and unwarranted extrapolation to ...
