title: N, N'-carbonyldiimidazole-induced diketopiperazine formation in aqueous solution in the presence of adenosine-5'-monophosphate.
abstract: 3'(2')-O-glycyl-adenosine-5'-monophosphate is an intermediate in the conversion of N-[imidazoly-(1)-carbonyl]-glycine to diketopiperazine in the presence of adenosine-5'-monophosphate. The significance of these observations to prebiotic chemistry is discussed.
