Amino Acid Dating

Most amino acids exist in two forms, commonly called "left" and "right." Living organisms use only "left" amino acids, but after death, the "left" amino acids begin changing to "right" forms, until there is an equal number of both.

This dating of method does not confirm the results of other methods of dating. Published in Origins v. 12, n. 1.
