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.

Rethinking “Prebiotic Chemistry”
Perspectives of Earth and Space ScientistsIn origins‐of‐life research, the term “prebiotic chemistry” is commonly used to describe processes thought to be related to or required for the emergence of life.

Prebiotic Chemistry: Geochemical Context and Reaction Screening [PDF]
Life, 2013 The origin of life on Earth is widely believed to have required the reactions of organic compounds and their self- and/or environmental organization. What those compounds were remains open to debate, as do the environment in and process or processes by ...

Atmospheric Prebiotic Chemistry and Organic Hazes [PDF]
Current Organic Chemistry, 2013 Earth's atmospheric composition at the time of the origin of life is not known, but it has often been suggested that chemical transformation of reactive species in the atmosphere was a significant source of prebiotic organic molecules. Experimental and theoretical studies over the past half century have shown that atmospheric synthesis can yield ...

Prebiotic Chemistry within a Simple Impacting Icy Mixture
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013 We present results of prebiotic organic synthesis in shock compressed mixtures of simple ices from quantum molecular dynamics (MD) simulations extended to close to equilibrium time scales. Given the likelihood of an inhospitable prebiotic atmosphere on early Earth, it is possible that impact processes of comets or other icy bodies were a source of ...

Magnetite Synthesis in the Presence of Cyanide or Thiocyanate under Prebiotic Chemistry Conditions [PDF]
Life, 2020 Magnetite is an iron oxide mineral component of primitive Earth. It is naturally synthesized in different ways, such as magma cooling as well as olivine decomposition under hydrothermal conditions.

How Prebiotic Chemistry and Early Life Chose Phosphate [PDF]
Life, 2019 The very specific thermodynamic instability and kinetic stability of phosphate esters and anhydrides impart them invaluable properties in living organisms in which highly efficient enzyme catalysts compensate for their low intrinsic reactivity ...
