      The signatures of energy-transducing organic molecules in meteorites
      S. GHOSAL (Natreon-Inc., CL-18A, Sector II, Salt Lake City, Kolkata 700091, India)

      Sci. Cult. 74 (1-2), 22-30 (2008). Bio-organic molecules such as oxygenated dibenzo-a-pyrones, their aminoacyl conjugates, and polyprenylbenzo-quinones have earlier been reported as transducers of energy in animals and human cells and were now found in four samples of meteorites. HPTLC on silica gel 60 with 1) n-butanol - acetone - acetic acid - water 7:7:2:4 for amino acids, followed by detection with ninhydrine reagent and densitometric evaluation at 610 nm; 2) n-butanol - acetic acid - water 3:1:2 for sugars, followed by detection with p-anisidine reagent and densitometric evaluation at 380 nm; and 3) chloroform - methanol 9:1 for dibenzopyrones, followed by densitometric evaluation at 240 nm and 360 nm.

      The signatures of energy-transducing organic molecules in meteorites
      S. GHOSAL (Natreon-Inc. CL-18A, Sector II, Salt lake City, Kolkata 700091, India, vishnu20024@rediffmail.com)

      Science & Culture Jan.-Feb., 22-30 (2008). Isolation and identification of some unique chemical compounds is reported using chemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic methods such as GC-MS, HPTLC and HPLC. The presence of bio-organic molecules such as oxygenated dibenzo-a-pyrones (DBPs), their amino acyl conjugates (DCPs) and polyphenyl benzoquinones (PBQs) was observed in all the four samples of meteorites. HPTLC on silica gel with 1) n-butanol - acetone - acetic acid - water 7:7:2:4 for amino acids, detection with ninhydrine reagent and absorbance measurement at 610 nm; 2) n-butanol - acetic acid - water 3:1:2 for sugars, detection with p-anisidine reagent and absorbance measurement at 380 nm; 3) chloroform - methanol 9:1 for DBPs and absorbance measurement at 240 nm and 360 nm.

      CBS 112, 5-7 (2014). HPTLC-AMD of sediment samples and standards 17α-ethinylestradiole, 17ß-estradiole, estrone and bisphenol A on silica gel with a two step gradient, first step with methanol to 20 mm, second step with ethyl acetate - n-hexane 1:1 to 80 mm. Detection with the p-YES-bioassay by dipping in yeast cell suspension (the cell number of the genetically modified yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae BJ3505) was determined by photometry and diluted to 150 ± 50 Formazin Attenuation Units) followed by incubation for 3 h at 30 °C in a saturated steam atmosphere. Then the enzyme substrate solution (0.5 mg/mL 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-galactopyranoside solution) was sprayed on the TLC plate followed by a second incubation for 30 min at 37 °C. Detection under UV 254 nm and quantitative fluorescence measurement at UV 320/>400 nm. Two blue fluorescent zones with estrogenic activity were detected at hRF 65 and 80.
