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 ...

The protometabolic nature of prebiotic chemistry. [PDF]
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.

Chemical Society Reviews, 2012 Without doubt, one of the most fascinating questions ever asked is ''What is life?'', immediately followed by ''How and where did life arise?''. Both questions are by no means exclusively related to chemistry and biology. Indeed, it was soon realized that concepts from astrophysics, geochemistry, geophysics, planetology, earth science, bioinformatics ...

Prebiotic chemistry: From dust to molecules and beyond [PDF]
, 2022 Prebiotic chemistry has dominated the origins of life (OoL) field to such an extent that often these terms have been used interchangeably. While prebiotic chemistry has benefited from cross-seeding with other disciplines (e.g., biochemistry, biophysics, computational sciences, geosciences), the OoL problem is still primarily a chemical one.

Prebiotic chemistry: A fuzzy field [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Chimie, 2010 If prebiotic chemistry is defined as the study of the chemical steps, which lead to the first organisms, a clear-cut definition of “living organism” is needed. Unfortunately, no unambiguous and universally accepted definition exists for the concept “living”.

Potential Role of Inorganic Confined Environments in Prebiotic Phosphorylation [PDF]
Life, 2018 A concise outlook on the potential role of confinement in phosphorylation and phosphate condensation pertaining to prebiotic chemistry is presented. Inorganic confinement is a relatively uncharted domain in studies concerning prebiotic chemistry, and ...

The origin of life and the prebiotic chemistry [PDF]
Semina: Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, 2004 In the present paper, a historical view from Oparin-Haldane hypothesis to prebiotic chemistry is discussed. Several aspects of prebiotic chemistry are also discussed such as: environments where the abiotic synthesis of biomolecules and biopolymers could

Prebiotic Chemistry in Nanoconfinement [PDF]
, 2016 Water presents extremely different properties depending not only on conditions like temperature and pressure but also on the local environment (bulk vs. interfacial water), which in turn profoundly affects chemical reactions in solution. Here, we present the results of extensive ab initio molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulations in which we ...

Chemistry of Homocysteine Thiolactone in A Prebiotic Perspective [PDF]
Life, 2019 Homocysteine is a non-proteinogenic sulfur-containing amino acid. Like cysteine, it can form disulfide bridges and complex metallic cations. It is also closely related to methionine, the first amino acid in the synthesis of all contemporary proteins ...
