title: Synthesis of phospholipids in microstructures, prepared by the interaction of ammonium thiocyanate, minerals, calcium acetate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and formaldehyde.
abstract: The photochemically formed microstructures, synthesized in sterilized aqueous mixture containing ammonium thiocyanate and formaldehyde in appropriate mineral environment in the presence of ferric chloride, on exposure to sunlight revealed the presence of phospholipids. The microsturctures synthesized in the unexposed mixture showed a less degree of synthesis. The microstructures showed the formation of amino acids, peptides, organic acids, and sugars as well.
