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).

Potential Prebiotic Pathways in Titan’s Atmosphere: A Computational Exploration of HCN and NH3 Reactions [PDF]
, 2023 In this study, we explore the potential for prebiotic chemistry in Titan’s atmosphere through computational modeling of reactions involving hydrogen cyanide (HCN), hydrogen isocyanide (HNC), and ammonia (NH3).

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

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.

Prebiotic Chemistry of Pluto [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2019 We present the case for the presence of complex organic molecules, such as amino acids and nucleobases, formed by abiotic processes on the surface and in near-subsurface regions of Pluto. Pluto's surface is tinted with a range of non-ice substances with colors ranging from light yellow to red to dark brown; the colors match those of laboratory organic ...
