Prebiotic Reaction Networks in Water [PDF]
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

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

Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides [PDF]
, 2019 The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their proportions vary with AX being the major component in wheat and rye and β ...
