In 1953, chemist Stanley Miller published landmark experimental results, revealing how some life molecules were formed on the earth in their infancy, but at the same time, he also left many experimental samples that he had never analyzed Recently, scientists have analyzed some of Miller's old experimental samples, and the first samples provide us with many new information, such as other forms of key molecules in the early Earth About four billion years ago, amino acids might have joined together to form peptides These peptides are the building blocks of proteins and enzymes necessary for life It is worth mentioning that Miller added cyanamide, a chemical that was not easily available on earth at that time, to the reaction bottle The researchers found that the peptide synthesis was successful (source: Science and technology daily)
