摘      要：Prebiotic peptide synthesis is a central issue concerning life s origins. Many studies considered that life might come from Hadean deep-sea environment, that is, under high hydrostatic pressure ***, the properties of prebiotic peptide formation under high hydrostatic pressure conditions have seldom been mentioned. Here we report that the yields of dipeptides increase with raised ***, effect of pressure on the formation of dipeptide was obvious at relatively low *** that the deep sea is of high hydrostatic pressure, the pressure may serve as one of the key factors in prebiotic peptide synthesis in the Hadean deep-sea environment. The high hydrostatic pressure should be considered as one of the significant factors in studying the origin of life.
