UV Photolysis of cold gas-phase tryptophan enantiomers in L-serine clusters at 8 K as a model for interstellar molecular clouds was examined to investigate the hypothesis that homochirality in gas-phase L-serine clusters promotes the enantiomeric enrichment of other amino acids via enantioselective photolysis with linearly polarized light.
