Insights into the formation and evolution of extraterrestrial amino acids from the asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Amino acid concentrations from 2 particles returned from different touchdown sites on the surface of Ryugu are reported. Differences in chemistry suggest different levels of aqueous alteration are recorded at the 2 sampled locations.
