From Amino Acids to α-Keto Acids via β-Elimination and Transamination Initiates a Pathway to Prebiotic Reaction Networks. [PDF]
A reaction starting from two amino acids, phosphoserine and Gly, reveals a pathway to the α‐keto acid building blocks pyruvate and glyoxylate, key components of a plausible early metabolic system. A one‐pot β‐elimination and transamination sequence also initiates a cascade of protometabolic transformations that provide crucial insights into the ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

From cosmos to intelligent life: the four ages of astrobiology [PDF]
The history of life on Earth and in other potential life-bearing planetary platforms is deeply linked to the history of the universe. Since life as we know it relies on chemical elements forged in dying heavy stars, the universe needs to be old enough ...

Astrobiology of life on Earth [PDF]
SummaryAstrobiology is mistakenly regarded by some as a field confined to studies of life beyond Earth. Here, we consider life on Earth through an astrobiological lens. Whereas classical studies of microbiology historically focused on various anthropocentric sub‐fields (such as fermented foods or commensals and pathogens of crop plants, livestock and ...

Venus, an Astrobiology Target [PDF]
We present a case for the exploration of Venus as an astrobiology target-(1) investigations focused on the likelihood that liquid water existed on the surface in the past, leading to the potential for the origin and evolution of life, (2) investigations into the potential for habitable zones within Venus' present-day clouds and Venus-like exo ...

Astrobiology and Astrophilosophy: Subsuming or Bifurcating Disciplines? [PDF]
Initially, astrobiology subsumed into philosophy. However, philosophy has increasingly subsumed into astrobiology concurrent with it steadily becoming an observational and experimental activity that mainly focuses on the link between life and the ...
