Prebiotic chemistry and human intervention [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Experimentalists in the field of prebiotic chemistry strive to re-enact what may have happened when life arose from inanimate material. How often human intervention was needed to obtain a specific result in their studies is worth reporting.

The protometabolic nature of prebiotic chemistry.
Chem Soc Rev, 2023 This tutorial review revises the main synthetic pathways of prebiotic chemistry, suggesting how they could be wired through common intermediates and catalytic cycles, as well as the boundary conditions under which they would become protometabolic.
