Harada, Kaoru

Sidney Fox and Kaoru Harada, in particular, used simulation experiments to show how volcanism may have been involved in the synthesis of prebiotic molecules. They heated a stream of gas (CH4, NH3 and H2O) to about 1,123 K (using a silicate contact) after cooling, they could detect glycine, alanine, p-alanine and aspartic acid (among others). This experiment was intended to simulate exhalation from the earth s crust, as in volcanoes (Fox and Harada, 1961 Harada and Fox, 1964).
