A Model Study on the Dynamics of the Amino Acid Content in Micrometeoroids during Atmospheric Entry

A model for the survival of the amino acid content in micrometeorites and its possible transformations upon atmospheric entry is described. Since any organic species released in the atmosphere at high altitudes would exhibit a limited lifetime with respect to the typical timescale for atmospheric mi...
