25. Because the activities of amino acids in vent fluids are not currently known, we set the activity values to zero. This assumption will introduce only minimal error in mixed hydrothermal solutions unless the concentrations of free amino acids in 350°C vent fluids are substantially higher than the concentrations in seawater.

29. C (22) in an amino acid, the sum of the nominal oxidation states for each carbon atom is divided by the total number of carbon atoms in the compound. A carbon atom is assigned a nominal charge of - 1 for each bond to a hydrogen atom; 0 for each bond to another carbon atom; and +1 for each bond to an oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur atom.
