Popis: Kristensson, Adam Rosenorn, Thomas Bilde, Merete; In this work we investigated the ability of a series of amino acids to act as cloud condensation nuclei using a static thermal gradient diffusion type cloud condensation nucleus counter. Particles of pure dry L-glycine, glycyl-glycine, L-serine, L-methionine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, and L-tyrosine were studied as well as internally mixed dry particles containing ammonium sulfate and one or two of the following amino acids: L-methionine, L-aspartic acid, or L-tyrosine. The amino acids ranged in water solubility from high (>100 g/L), intermediate (10-100 g/L), low (3-10 g/L), to very low (
