Scientific paper

Lunar samples from Apollo flights 11 through 17 provided an opportunity to examine extraterrestrial materials for evidence of early prebiological chemistry in the solar system. Search was directed to water-extractable compounds with emphasis on amino acids. Gas chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography and gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry were used for analysis. It is concluded that amino acids are not present in the lunar regolith above the background levels of the investigations.
