Abstract
In this work, we continue our studies on the thermal prebiotic oligomerization of amino acids. The next step is to consider all four types of electromagnetic interactions that our model may admit. In addition, only the polymerization of amino acids via the formation of diketopiperzines, which arises from the cyclodehydration of two amino acids, will be considered. By assuming that only one residue group of two will predominate in the diketopiperzine molecule, it is possible to reduce the three-body problem to a simpler situation with the two objects that we have already solved.
