Differences in radiolysis behavior of D,L amino acid in primary stage and thermodynamic equilibrium state

If differential interaction of elementary particles with enantiomers of amino acids exists and what role it may play on the origin of life chirality are hitherto not concluded. The controversial experimental results, the poor reproducibility of some positive evidence and the theoretical prediction of the effects which are well below the threshold of experimental observation have spread the pessimistic view. A series of experiments were designed to retest the problem. The obtained data and the careful analysis of the reference data, however, favor the conclusion that there does exist differential interaction of elementary particles with D,L amino acids. The differences are truly trivial in magnitude, but it could be detected when the system is far from equilibrium (the primary stage), by instant measurement as the interaction is still proceeding. If the system is at the thermodynamic equilibrium state, the difference would not be detectable. If an effective amplification is involved, the subtle difference would be enlarged to the extent of formation of macroscopically detectable chirality. So the possibility that the asymmetricity of elementary particles causes the formation of terrestrial excess of one-particular isomer could not be excluded. This view may explain the long disputation and the controversy among reports
