Creating the Molecules of Life

Beschreibung

Discussing origins, including the Big Bang and the origin of the elements, this book provides evidence that the molecules of life are produced in outer space and how the SNAAP model purports to explain that origin. It is aimed at the upper undergraduate level, with mathematics associated with coupling the nuclear spins to the molecular chirality.
