Scientific paper

The paper examines results of laboratory experiments concerning the effect of lunar soil and a number of metal oxides (Al2O3, SiO2, CaO, and TiO2) characteristic for highland and mare basalts on the thermal and radiative-chemical stability of amino acids. The results suggest that the fact that only a very small quantity of amino acids has been found in lunar soil can be explained by their decomposition under the combined effect of various forms of radiation, solar wind, and abrupt temperature change. In addition, the data indicate that certain minerals composing the regolith have a considerable effect on the stability of amino acids with respect to heat and ionizing radiation.
