Interstellar Ice Embedded Glycine Response to H + /proton Irradiation. A Theoretical Study

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the stability of glycine under proton irradiation in interstellar ice.
• Theoretical modeling of glycine interactions with proton irradiation.
• Assessment of glycine's stability on simulated ice grains in the interstellar medium.
• Glycine shows varying stability depending on the intensity of proton irradiation.
• Predicted degradation pathways suggest significant alterations in glycine structure under prolonged exposure.
