First Detection Of Ethylene Oxide And Acetaldehyde In Hot Core G358.93−0.03 MM1: Tracing Prebiotic Oxygen Chemistry

Ethylene oxide (c-C2H4O) and its isomer, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), are important complex organic molecules owing to their potential role in the formation of amino acids (R-CH(NH2)-COOH) in ISM.

Observation Of Complex Organic Molecules Containing Peptide-like Bonds Towards Hot Core G358.93−0.03 MM1

In the star formation regions, the complex organic molecules that contain peptide bonds (−NH−C(=O)−) play a major role in the metabolic process because −NH−C(=O)− is connected to amino acids (R-CHNH2−COOH).
