Prebiotic Reaction Networks in Water
Life, 2020 A prevailing strategy in origins of life studies is to explore how chemistry constrained by hypothetical prebiotic conditions could have led to molecules and system level processes proposed to be important for life’s beginnings. This strategy has yielded

Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2010 The different compartments of the gastrointestinal tract are inhabited by populations of micro-organisms. By far the most important predominant populations are in the colon where a true symbiosis with the host exists that is a key for well-being and ...

Can prebiotic reaction systems survive in the wild? An interference chemistry approach [PDF]
, 2021 The origin of life occurred by a series of prebiotic reaction pathways (collectively a system) hosted in one or more geochemical environments (together forming an origin of life scenario).

Thioesters Provide a Robust Path to Prebiotic Peptides [PDF]
, 2021 The condensation of building blocks into oligomers and polymers was an early and important stage in the origins of life. High activation energies, unfavorable thermodynamics and side reactions are bottlenecks for abiotic formation of peptides. Thioesters

The Prebiotic Potential of Inulin-Type Fructans: A Systematic Review
Advances in Nutrition, 2021 Inulin-type fructans (ITF), including short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), oligofructose, and inulin, are commonly used fibers that are widely regarded as prebiotic for their ability to be selectively utilized by the intestinal microbiota to ...

Ring-Opening of Glycerol Cyclic Phosphates Leads to a Diverse Array of Potentially Prebiotic Phospholipids [PDF]
, 2023 Phospholipids are the primary constituents of cell membranes across all domains of life, but how and when phospholipids appeared on early Earth remains unknown.
