1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:11,169 [Music] 2 00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:13,159 before I start I just won't point out 3 00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:15,059 this is the talk I gave it up saikhan I 4 00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:18,270 promise you a different talk but um the 5 00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:19,950 equipment that I need to use for it the 6 00:00:24,770 --> 00:00:22,590 lcms has been broken for four months now 7 00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:24,780 so you're gonna get a taste of it in 8 00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:26,100 this talk but I'm also going to talk 9 00:00:32,569 --> 00:00:30,360 about a lot more meteorite stuff so um 10 00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:32,579 outline I'm gonna give you some 11 00:00:38,599 --> 00:00:36,239 background on both biochem and planetary 12 00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:38,609 science so you should be bored by at 13 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:41,100 least one part of the intro I'm going to 14 00:00:44,509 --> 00:00:42,480 talk about the prebiotic simulations 15 00:00:46,669 --> 00:00:44,519 that I do and then I'm going to talk 16 00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:46,679 about nano ir maps and Raman maps of 17 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:49,379 meteorites that I do I'm going to talk 18 00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:50,640 about the integration of all of these 19 00:00:54,319 --> 00:00:52,379 points the implications for planetary 20 00:00:58,279 --> 00:00:54,329 science and astrobiology and then I will 21 00:00:59,809 --> 00:00:58,289 take questions so very briefly planetary 22 00:01:01,819 --> 00:00:59,819 scientists use this will your chart to 23 00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:01,829 classify meteorites 24 00:01:10,970 --> 00:01:05,780 it is a chart where three is the least 25 00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:10,980 altered and as you have this way there's 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:13,320 more water in them and as you go this 27 00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:17,610 way it's hotter of course you can have 28 00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:24,590 both water and therm alteration which 29 00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:29,220 makes organics here's a small list of 30 00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:30,870 different meteorites that are astro 31 00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,310 biologically important they all have a 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:35,280 significant amount of organics you can 33 00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:37,530 note that they're pathological types are 34 00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:39,660 between 3 which is again pretty 35 00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:43,380 unaltered and one which means that it 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:45,240 has a lot of water so this is kind of 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:49,410 the sweet spot of organic chemistry 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:51,570 temperatures and liquid water being 39 00:01:59,690 --> 00:01:57,690 present so here's an organics inventory 40 00:02:02,780 --> 00:01:59,700 of meteorites I'm particularly 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:02,790 interested in these three I'm interested 42 00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:04,170 in amino acids which are the building 43 00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:06,900 blocks of proteins I'm interested in 44 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:08,429 peptides which you can think of for the 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:10,709 purposes of this talk as very short 46 00:02:15,020 --> 00:02:12,810 proteins you get 47 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:15,030 this when you take you're gonna get this 48 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:16,800 can take two of these and your removal 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:20,520 water I'm interested in this because my 50 00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:22,530 laboratory simulations seem to show that 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:24,870 in the presence of hydroxy acids you get 52 00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:26,610 a significantly higher peptide rate 53 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:28,440 which is good because there are a lot of 54 00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:31,440 hydroxy acids and meteorites and then 55 00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:33,300 I'm also interested in all these as 56 00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:35,940 targets of opportunity and they should 57 00:02:44,449 --> 00:02:37,790 happen to show up in my nano IR maps 58 00:02:45,949 --> 00:02:44,459 awesome so here is a small organics 59 00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:45,959 inventory of meteorites specifically the 60 00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:49,560 amino acids the number is again that 61 00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:52,019 Federer logical type the letters are 62 00:02:57,020 --> 00:02:55,350 kind of the chemical makeup there is a 63 00:02:59,780 --> 00:02:57,030 lot of amino acids that were delivered 64 00:03:01,820 --> 00:02:59,790 to earth so I still have late heavy 65 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:01,830 bombardment on here but that's okay 66 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:04,050 the you can think of this instead of two 67 00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:05,910 hundred million years all these 68 00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:07,230 calculations are from modern day 69 00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:10,920 meteorite flux so if you take the amount 70 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:13,080 of carbon that was delivered over 200 71 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:15,209 million years before life observed and 72 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:17,519 I'm thinking just the average date that 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:20,130 we think life originated roughly the 74 00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:21,570 amount of organics that survived are two 75 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:23,400 point five grams the ten to the twenty 76 00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:25,890 second to put this into context 77 00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:28,230 realization this is more than all of the 78 00:03:32,449 --> 00:03:30,870 carbon in the current biosphere and if 79 00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:32,459 you were to cover the earth with it it 80 00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:35,820 would be a 40 meter deep layer of this 81 00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:38,310 you can find the amino acid amount by 82 00:03:42,729 --> 00:03:40,500 taking the soluble carbon which is just 83 00:03:45,590 --> 00:03:42,739 the stuff that's not karagin that like 84 00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:45,600 you know nice thing that you've showed 85 00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:48,900 miniatures shown earlier and you get 86 00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:50,790 some point six times ten to the sixteen 87 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:53,190 to five point seven times ten to the 22 88 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:54,930 grams depending on how pessimistic or 89 00:03:59,569 --> 00:03:57,450 optimistic you are and then you can do a 90 00:04:01,759 --> 00:03:59,579 rough count concentration and you find 91 00:04:03,949 --> 00:04:01,769 out that there could potentially be a 92 00:04:07,790 --> 00:04:03,959 very high concentration of amino acids 93 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:07,800 in the early ocean so 94 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:10,050 I'm kind of trying to get away with 95 00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:12,090 doing laboratory simulations that fit on 96 00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:14,820 to two that satisfy two environmental 97 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:17,070 conditions the first one is the 98 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:19,170 prebiotic earth where the average 99 00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:21,810 temperature we think was around 100 to 100 00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:24,360 200 C take this with a grain of salt 101 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:26,580 because we've our lab has very recently 102 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:28,680 learned about the fact that they have 103 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,850 human Bartman's been called into 104 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:31,680 question but there were certainly places 105 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:34,670 on earth that had this temperature range 106 00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:36,630 besides when the organics that you get 107 00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:38,100 from lightning strikes and you know 108 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:39,720 deep-sea volcanism you got a huge amount 109 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:43,170 of organics delivered by impact the 110 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:44,550 majority of your Earth's water would 111 00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:46,290 certainly also probably blow pardon this 112 00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:48,870 time and then you had cattle lake 113 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:50,790 surfaces both from the Earth's geology 114 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:53,930 and from meteorites themselves 115 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:56,250 simultaneously you can also kind of get 116 00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:00,720 away with using this as the meteor 117 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:05,430 parent body's environment so average 118 00:05:08,690 --> 00:05:06,810 temperature of meteorite parent body 119 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:08,700 through specifically the carbonaceous 120 00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:10,050 chondrites which is the organic 121 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:12,420 meteorites Murchison which you've all 122 00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:13,770 probably heard of is a carbonaceous 123 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:16,860 chondrite varies between about 100 to 124 00:05:21,740 --> 00:05:19,080 200 C there are notable temperature 125 00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:21,750 outliers but let's focus on this for the 126 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:25,620 sake of my experiments you have organics 127 00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:28,770 that are incorporated from the inner 128 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:32,280 stellar nebula and the planetary nebula 129 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:34,530 and then you have additional organics 130 00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:35,310 farm but I'm not going to talk about 131 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:36,480 that 132 00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:38,010 you have mineral evidence for the 133 00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:40,230 presence of liquid water and you have 134 00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:41,880 catalytic surfaces that are found in the 135 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:45,350 meteorites like olivine so you can 136 00:05:51,260 --> 00:05:48,090 simulate both of these using a biotic 137 00:05:53,210 --> 00:05:51,270 peptide simulations it's based on 138 00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:53,220 research that my boss started at Georgia 139 00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:54,980 Tech Center for chemical evolution 140 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:57,870 basically we're using L amino acids 141 00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,000 hydroxy acids and a catalytic Rock of 142 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:02,160 your choice but as long as everything is 143 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:03,840 present meteorites it's kosher and on 144 00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:06,210 the table and your method is just you 145 00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:07,710 want to mix one part amino acids with 146 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:09,960 one part hydroxy acids the reason for 147 00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:12,330 that is that's what you see in meteor 148 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:14,820 observations we think hydroxy acids are 149 00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:16,530 mostly acting as catalysts so at some 150 00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:18,900 point I will reduce that but for now 151 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:20,830 we're trying to follow nature 152 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,450 you need to provide a very small amount 153 00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:24,400 of catalytic surface allow it to make 154 00:06:29,159 --> 00:06:26,620 some water and then you can bake it in 155 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:29,169 an oven of various ranges we're focusing 156 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:31,410 on the 65 to 200 degrees C range 157 00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:33,250 specifically because the Center for 158 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:34,990 chemical evolution does colder and we 159 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:37,090 don't want to step on their toes and 160 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:39,130 also because we're interested in doing 161 00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:41,770 meteorite parent body stuff and then you 162 00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:43,240 can sample algorithmically to see the 163 00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:47,470 time evolution of your products so these 164 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:49,870 are three graphs um this one's just 165 00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:52,930 glycine anse by itself you can the main 166 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:55,840 thing to notice this one's like at the 167 00:07:03,120 --> 00:06:59,680 ten level if you add lactic acid you go 168 00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:03,130 up significantly um but also all three 169 00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:05,590 of these graphs show that as time goes 170 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:07,660 on you do have more peptide formation 171 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:10,090 you do make longer approach protein 172 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:12,810 strains um it's interesting to note that 173 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:15,520 lactic acid tends to be incorporated as 174 00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:17,680 like the terminal or start and sometimes 175 00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:20,740 you will get to lactic acids something 176 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:21,910 that I really want to present on but 177 00:07:26,430 --> 00:07:23,650 just didn't get to because my machines 178 00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:26,440 are all broken is where precisely the 179 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:28,150 second lactic acid is if it's also 180 00:07:33,090 --> 00:07:29,650 terminal or if it's incorporated in the 181 00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:33,100 middle um so we're also doing something 182 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:35,020 called NATO our real quick has anyone 183 00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:38,560 heard of me you know I know 184 00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:41,260 okay so nano IR is this really cool new 185 00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:44,169 materials technique in physics ah and 186 00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:47,080 what it is is all molecules will vibrate 187 00:07:52,529 --> 00:07:49,870 if you put the right opportunity to 188 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:52,539 flight on them basically so you have a 189 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:55,840 pulse tunable IR laser and you just pick 190 00:08:01,560 --> 00:07:58,960 a starting point and scale up through it 191 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:01,570 and then you also have another laser 192 00:08:08,370 --> 00:08:04,090 that detects how high it is when you hit 193 00:08:09,540 --> 00:08:08,380 the right like frequency it expands so 194 00:08:11,219 --> 00:08:09,550 you can detect a whole bunch of 195 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:11,229 different molecules using this and you 196 00:08:18,570 --> 00:08:13,870 can get it on extremely fine levels so 197 00:08:22,830 --> 00:08:18,580 you can make a hundred nanometer sized 198 00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:22,840 measurements so we're looking at I need 199 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:25,510 one peaks at a me two peaks a little bit 200 00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:28,930 of a mean three I have the rotational 201 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:29,950 and 202 00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:32,050 vibrational modes here that correspond 203 00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:36,220 to these Peaks and this is honor data 204 00:08:40,740 --> 00:08:37,960 this is someone else's data but we're 205 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:40,750 working to do these maps as well and so 206 00:08:45,690 --> 00:08:44,470 here you can see CL double bond which is 207 00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:45,700 one of the main things we'll be looking 208 00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:47,020 for and you can see that it's pretty 209 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:49,510 sparse so like here is probably some 210 00:08:58,530 --> 00:08:53,370 amino acids peptides and here and here 211 00:09:00,330 --> 00:08:58,540 um and we did this we tried to and it 212 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:00,340 turns out the adhesives that we used 213 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:03,700 showed up much more strongly manner 214 00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:06,250 I mean awesomes proteins so back to the 215 00:09:10,410 --> 00:09:07,420 drawing table because they had to figure 216 00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:10,420 out a new adhesive yeah here's just a 217 00:09:16,830 --> 00:09:15,220 nice better picture ok so here's the one 218 00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:16,840 part of my work that's gone really 219 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:18,990 really well which is making ramen maps 220 00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:20,950 and it's the same kind of thing as a 221 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:22,840 noir you can make really high-resolution 222 00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:25,810 maps using Raman spectroscopy and you 223 00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:27,190 can exchange a whole bunch of different 224 00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:28,750 environmental things about the 225 00:09:34,830 --> 00:09:31,120 meteorites so here's just a nice Tagish 226 00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:34,840 Lake temperature map you can find out 227 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:38,350 you can fit the hottest point and the 228 00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:41,770 coldest point this is to carbon bands as 229 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:44,110 things gets hotter it goes from this D 230 00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:46,810 which is like disorganised to this G 231 00:09:54,990 --> 00:09:52,720 which is graph e and here is a bigger 232 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:55,000 better Murchison sample overlaid on the 233 00:10:00,390 --> 00:09:58,090 meteorite itself so you can do rough 234 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:00,400 amounts of carbon you can do temperature 235 00:10:06,210 --> 00:10:03,250 you can do let me get out of the way 236 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,220 olivine amounts you can do of the 237 00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:08,800 olivine what is the mg relative to Fe 238 00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:10,870 because those are the major ions that 239 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:13,030 are incorporated into olivine and then 240 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:14,830 you can take a single pixel and you can 241 00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:16,690 overlay all these things and compare 242 00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:18,790 them when you can add in the nanowire 243 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:21,160 our Maps you can say okay what kind of 244 00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:22,450 organics are formed on a very small 245 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,310 scale and what are the environmental 246 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:26,320 things that contribute to that specific 247 00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:29,410 organic formation a good way to check 248 00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:31,420 this is with toph sense here's the top 249 00:10:36,930 --> 00:10:34,630 since we did of glycine all the scale 250 00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:36,940 were looking for you can see it's really 251 00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:40,340 good um the problem of toxins is 252 00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:43,520 ablates off the lair so if you want to 253 00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:46,910 do ramen on that layer it's gonna damage 254 00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:49,340 the organics if you do it first if you 255 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:51,620 do this on the lair you can't do ramen 256 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,230 afterwards so it's a good check to make 257 00:10:59,260 --> 00:10:56,240 sure nano our ramen interactions are 258 00:11:02,760 --> 00:10:59,270 working and it'll give you a higher 259 00:11:07,540 --> 00:11:02,770 resolution than NIR but its destructive 260 00:11:08,860 --> 00:11:07,550 so here's some fun implications so a 261 00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:08,870 range of organics were delivered 262 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,790 including probably already formed 263 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:13,040 peptides to the earth and they were 264 00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:14,630 distributed across the solar system if 265 00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:16,400 you can form peptides in space there is 266 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:18,020 no reason that they can only be like 267 00:11:22,329 --> 00:11:19,490 that you can't assume that they were 268 00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:22,339 distributed everywhere you have cat 269 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:24,560 alike services both on earth and in 270 00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:27,170 particular small dehydrating pools in 271 00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:29,480 this range are great places to farm even 272 00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:31,430 more peptides because we think that 273 00:11:41,230 --> 00:11:40,070 amino acids are still much more no much 274 00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:41,240 more abundant than peptides in 275 00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:44,150 meteorites and even taking a little 276 00:11:48,850 --> 00:11:45,470 estimates of conditions on earth in 277 00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:48,860 organics delivery you're gonna probably 278 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:51,470 get catalytically active peptides being 279 00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:52,880 delivered everywhere across the solar 280 00:11:57,790 --> 00:11:56,570 system and some asteroid apparent bodies 281 00:11:59,860 --> 00:11:57,800 possess similar characteristics to 282 00:12:02,290 --> 00:11:59,870 prebiotic bodies you can get pressure 283 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:02,300 volatiles including water organics and 284 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:05,570 kind of like surfaces and you know 285 00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:07,130 you're providing fuel all over your 286 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:09,310 solar system and this is especially 287 00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:11,450 important for places that don't have 288 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:14,110 deep sea hydrothermal vents for 289 00:12:20,290 --> 00:12:18,110 lightning reactions so if you want to 290 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:20,300 create life somewhere that doesn't have 291 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:21,890 the same conditions of Earth you can 292 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:23,510 still do it because stuff was still 293 00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:26,690 being delivered so I have a lot of 294 00:12:31,870 --> 00:12:30,350 future work to do for media analysis I 295 00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:31,880 need to work on my sample prep because 296 00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:34,600 you know that adhesive is about adhesive 297 00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:37,070 we're also looking at doing alternative 298 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:38,830 methods right now we use fast ion beam 299 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:41,810 flattening where we just throw ions at 300 00:12:45,490 --> 00:12:43,730 it and it just kind of oblate stuff off 301 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:45,500 but that's very expensive so we're 302 00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:48,050 looking into polishing as well problem 303 00:12:51,210 --> 00:12:49,910 with polishing is it introduces foreign 304 00:12:54,259 --> 00:12:51,220 matter 305 00:12:56,970 --> 00:12:54,269 Ramin we're trying to achieve even finer 306 00:12:59,340 --> 00:12:56,980 robbing mats the mass I showed you where 307 00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,350 micron scale we're looking to get to the 308 00:13:03,569 --> 00:13:01,839 300 nanometer scale this here and our 309 00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:03,579 ultimate goal is 10 to the 20 nanometer 310 00:13:08,999 --> 00:13:06,430 scale and in nano are we'd like to make 311 00:13:11,669 --> 00:13:09,009 larger not nano our ops because as you 312 00:13:14,309 --> 00:13:11,679 saw the organics and in particular amino 313 00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:14,319 acids are like clumped in certain areas 314 00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:17,529 and they're pretty rare overall so we 315 00:13:23,119 --> 00:13:19,839 need to make really large scale Maps if 316 00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:23,129 we want to see a lot of organics and 317 00:13:28,530 --> 00:13:26,949 then I'm kind of still always working on 318 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:28,540 my data processing code and adding in 319 00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:30,480 more things that I can fit to raman 320 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:32,589 between apps icon and now I've done 321 00:13:36,869 --> 00:13:35,290 phyllosilicates and if you have a 322 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:36,879 suggestion for something in the visible 323 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:39,910 ramadhan that I should be fitting come 324 00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:44,170 talk to me for laboratory simulations I 325 00:13:47,069 --> 00:13:45,670 really don't like to do the structure 326 00:13:51,809 --> 00:13:47,079 and the mechanisms of a biotic long 327 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:51,819 chain long chain peptide formation you 328 00:13:54,929 --> 00:13:53,110 know I'd like to investigate effects 329 00:13:58,919 --> 00:13:54,939 that I can't see for my meteorites like 330 00:14:00,780 --> 00:13:58,929 pH changes and you know you can control 331 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:00,790 very finely which amino acids you're 332 00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:03,610 putting in and then it also like to 333 00:14:06,210 --> 00:14:04,600 confirm relationships between 334 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:06,220 temperature and peptide formation 335 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:07,870 because the Raman laughs that I showed 336 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:09,370 you and the temperatures that we predict 337 00:14:15,419 --> 00:14:12,850 are all from carbon fitting and that's 338 00:14:17,819 --> 00:14:15,429 just the peak metamorphic temperature so 339 00:14:20,429 --> 00:14:17,829 these may be forming at a colder or a 340 00:14:23,489 --> 00:14:20,439 warmer temperature we're just not sure 341 00:14:25,079 --> 00:14:23,499 we can only define the upper bound with 342 00:14:28,379 --> 00:14:25,089 laboratory simulations we can define 343 00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:28,389 what's the best temperature 344 00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:30,899 so here's references and acknowledgments 345 00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:32,800 thank you to a whole bunch of different 346 00:14:38,579 --> 00:14:35,649 groups we have the Georgia Institute of 347 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:38,589 Technology Group people have moved so 348 00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:41,290 you can see University of Lille their 349 00:14:45,389 --> 00:14:44,079 team's does specialize setting so that's 350 00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:45,399 what we're getting out of our ramen and 351 00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:48,189 nano IR stuff from I mean we're working 352 00:14:53,069 --> 00:14:49,990 with several other people at University 353 00:14:58,670 --> 00:14:53,079 of Central Florida and I will not take 354 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:06,780 great questions for me thank you when 355 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:09,279 you were doing your calculation which 356 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:12,250 resulted in this very significant 357 00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:14,050 estimates of amino acid concentrations 358 00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:16,870 in the ocean yeah um this seemed to 359 00:15:21,329 --> 00:15:18,910 assume that these amino acids were just 360 00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:21,339 accumulating over the 200 million year 361 00:15:25,380 --> 00:15:22,899 period that there was no significant 362 00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:25,390 sink removing these from the ocean is 363 00:15:31,019 --> 00:15:28,630 that assumption you do have reason to 364 00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:31,029 believe that during that time period so 365 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:35,350 I think that um so I stole this from 366 00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:36,970 someone else's paper there in my 367 00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:38,529 references 368 00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:40,480 but I think that the idea is that yeah 369 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:42,190 there isn't a significant sink unless 370 00:15:46,889 --> 00:15:43,750 you're forming some kind of you know 371 00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:46,899 advanced molecules I will say something 372 00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:48,760 that I myself have known in my research 373 00:15:53,069 --> 00:15:50,860 is when I'm doing these laboratory 374 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:53,079 peptide simulations if you let all the 375 00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:54,880 water get away they do turn into what I 376 00:15:58,889 --> 00:15:56,649 think suspect is like the carriage and 377 00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,899 like substance they get black and tari I 378 00:16:04,199 --> 00:16:00,880 would imagine that happened to a good 379 00:16:09,389 --> 00:16:04,209 percent of these so I would say that 380 00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:09,399 this is probably an upper limit however 381 00:16:24,049 --> 00:16:22,129 yeah thanks Amy really sweet talk um 382 00:16:25,939 --> 00:16:24,059 have you tried doing multiple wedding 383 00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:25,949 drying cycles and see if that change 384 00:16:30,439 --> 00:16:29,100 anything yeah so um that's something on 385 00:16:33,019 --> 00:16:30,449 my long list of things that I'll be 386 00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:33,029 doing with these but right now no I'm 387 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:35,339 trying to basically I'm adding water 388 00:16:41,389 --> 00:16:37,290 once and I'm monitoring over 48 hours 389 00:16:45,139 --> 00:16:41,399 yeah and it typically dries out by the 390 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,149 last measurement yeah not always though 391 00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:47,279 because sometimes my undergrad seals it 392 00:16:53,389 --> 00:16:49,860 too tight um so it's something that I am 393 00:16:54,619 --> 00:16:53,399 interested in looking into you when you 394 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:54,629 monitor you know you taking it out of 395 00:16:58,910 --> 00:16:56,730 the oven and then doing an in putting it 396 00:17:04,460 --> 00:16:58,920 back in okay you're good Institute yeah 397 00:17:07,730 --> 00:17:04,470 so so what I'm doing is I have these 398 00:17:10,399 --> 00:17:07,740 really nice they're called like 399 00:17:13,069 --> 00:17:10,409 autoclaves and they're tough on lined 400 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:13,079 and they seal up really nice and this is 401 00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:13,770 good because you don't get 402 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:15,240 cross-contamination so I can run like 403 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,730 multiple samples or because my boss 404 00:17:24,620 --> 00:17:19,439 likes a lot of blinks I have four blanks 405 00:17:26,389 --> 00:17:24,630 and a sample running every time and so a 406 00:17:28,399 --> 00:17:26,399 lot of times when people are doing these 407 00:17:30,139 --> 00:17:28,409 kinds of experiments they'll just put 408 00:17:33,379 --> 00:17:30,149 stuff into the oven and it'll evaporate 409 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:33,389 and cross contaminate if you steal it 410 00:17:38,570 --> 00:17:36,080 well enough that some water can escape 411 00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:38,580 so that it doesn't explode on you when 412 00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:40,860 you open it because oh god you learned 413 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:44,940 that real fast um you can still like 414 00:17:49,399 --> 00:17:47,610 prevent a lot of cross-contamination but 415 00:17:50,899 --> 00:17:49,409 the converse is when you want to take a 416 00:17:52,129 --> 00:17:50,909 sample measurement you have to take it 417 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:52,139 out wait for it to cool down enough for 418 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:54,950 it to not explode on you sample it and 419 00:18:06,420 --> 00:17:57,210 when you open it up you're going to lose 420 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:10,890 okay um did you try to do heterogeneous 421 00:18:15,550 --> 00:18:14,090 peptides like not only glancing but try 422 00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:15,560 to mix it up with different women as it 423 00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:20,020 may be non-biological ones yeah um so 424 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:22,100 eventually what I'd like to do is be 425 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:24,170 using stuff something like this you know 426 00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:28,010 take a meteorite class add in amino 427 00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:29,900 acids and the ratios that you see in 428 00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:32,800 those meteorites and see what happens 429 00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:34,910 I'm not sure if I but on here I'm using 430 00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:38,060 L for the sake of cost but I'd also like 431 00:18:44,050 --> 00:18:41,080 to see what incorporating D does as well 432 00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:44,060 so all amino acids are LRD we have that 433 00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:46,400 nice chirality talk that's the shorthand 434 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:50,120 for the two kinds of cairo yeah so I 435 00:18:57,130 --> 00:18:53,840 would be really interested in that on a 436 00:18:58,780 --> 00:18:57,140 purely methods note the next one that I 437 00:19:01,270 --> 00:18:58,790 do will probably have serine or tyrosine 438 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:01,280 in it just because it is terrible 439 00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:03,290 terrible getting my glycine only 440 00:19:10,180 --> 00:19:08,600 peptides off the column yes so at the 441 00:19:14,490 --> 00:19:10,190 very least I'm gonna start adding charge 442 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:14,500 things and just for ease of methodology 443 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:17,210 my question was about chirality so you 444 00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:20,960 just answered that awesome okay yeah so 445 00:19:24,370 --> 00:19:23,000 well probably like when I put out my 446 00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:24,380 first paper I'll probably have a little 447 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:26,510 section and it talks about you know I'm 448 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:29,450 only using L so here you know it's the 449 00:19:35,710 --> 00:19:32,210 statistical chances of a twenty peptide 450 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:35,720 being all L which is very low there's a 451 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:37,490 slight if you're towards all amino acids 452 00:19:40,170 --> 00:19:38,960 in our solar system but it's pretty 453 00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:40,180 slight 454 00:19:49,070 --> 00:19:44,390 alright any other questions for Amy all
