Originally designed to test a hypothesis of Oparin and Haldane, the apparatus contained a heated flask of water linked in series to a trap containing a sampling probe, a vacuum pump, and a chamber containing two electrodes.
Johnson and Pratt re-analyzed the original samples from this experiment and found hydroxylated products. This experiment immediately preceded Sydney Fox's experimental discovery of proteinoid microspheres, and Roscoe Stribling repeated this experiment with one of the original scientists. Originally designed to test a hypothesis of Oparin and Haldane, the apparatus contained a heated flask of water linked in series to a trap containing a sampling probe, a vacuum pump, and a chamber containing two electrodes. The chamber contained a mixture of water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen cyanide, and this experiment was successful in creating sugars and amino acids. For 10 points, name this experiment that was used to show that a pre-biotic Earth can create the precursors of life.
