Abstract Protein and non-protein amino acids were synthesized following hydrolysis of products obtained by high frequency discharge techniques applied to model atmospheres consisting of $ N_{2} $ as a nitrogen source together with $ CH_{4} $ and/or $ CO_{2} $ as a carbon source. Highest yields were obtained in the absence of $ CO_{2} $ and from mixtures rich in $ CH_{4} $. Amino acids would indeed be expected on the frozen surface of Titan with its $ CH_{4} $−$ N_{2} $ atmosphere.
