Abstract

Over 70 years after the Miller-Urey experiment, synthesizing amino acids from inorganic molecules still faces low selectivity and poor yield. This study uses solution plasma to synthesize amino acids from CH4-NH3-H2, achieving a yield of 341.0 μg L−1 and a serine-to-glycine ratio of 144.5%, the highest reported for clean synthesis.
