Uracil and niacin, two organic compounds vital for metabolism and building RNA, were found in an asteroid, suggesting that life on Earth came from space. Fox News Media Fox Business ...

Pristine rock samples taken from asteroid Ryugu are home to uracil, a critical component of RNA. Skip to ... likely a major mechanism for delivering pre-biological chemical compounds to other ...

A huge variety of different organic compounds have already been found in Ryugu samples. Many organic molecules, such as amino acids, come in two forms: left-handed and right-handed.

Scientists have discovered the chemical compound uracil, one of the building blocks of RNA, in just 10 milligrammes of material from the asteroid Ryugu, according to new research published on Tuesday.

The uracil mustard was given orally in the form of 1-mg. or 5-mg. capsules. In 30 patients the initial dosage administered was 10 mg. per day (divided in 2 doses) for three days.
