摘要:

为了研究生命的化学起源,我们利用一个新开发的用于分子动力学计算的Monte Carlo模拟器研究了含放射性碳(C-14)的羧酸通过β衰变产生氨基酸的几率.利用模拟计算了N-14在[3-C-14]丙酸中通过C-14 β衰变反冲的动力学轨迹,并估算了N-14在化合物中的停留概率,即[3-C-14]丙酸产生甘氨酸的概率。假设[3-C-14]丙酸的静态化合物结构和甘氨酸C-N结合势能为3.93 eV,计算甘氨酸产生概率为78.7%。从计算与各种结合势参数,甘氨酸生产概率约为30%,预计通过模拟的情况下,松散的C-N结合势能为2-eV。

英文摘要:

To study the chemical origin of life, we investigated the amino acid production probability from radiocarbon (C-14)-containing carboxylic acid via beta-decay using a newly developed Monte Carlo simulator for molecular dynamics calculation. Using the simulation, we calculated the dynamical trajectory of N-14 recoiled via C-14 beta-decay in [3-C-14]propionic acid and evaluated the staying probability of N-14 in the compound, which is the glycinium (a protonated glycine) production probability from [3-C-14]propionic acid. The glycinium production probability was calculated to be 78.7% assuming static compound structures of [3-C-14]propionic acid and a glycinium C-N binding potential energy of 3.93 eV. From calculations with various binding potential parameters, a glycinium production probability of approximately 30% was expected by simulation in case of a loose C-N binding potential energy of 2-eV.
