A robotic prebiotic chemist probes long term reactions of complexifying mixtures
Nature Communications, 2021 The transition of prebiotic chemistry to present-day chemistry lasted a very long period of time, but the current laboratory investigations of this process are mostly limited to a couple of days.

The Effects of Iron on In Silico Simulated Abiotic Reaction Networks
Molecules, 2022 Iron is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe and Earth’s surfaces, and undergoes a redox change of approximately 0.77 mV in changing between its +2 and +3 states.

Prebiotic Reaction Networks in Water
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

Phosphorus in prebiotic chemistry [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 The prebiotic synthesis of phosphorus-containing compounds—such as nucleotides and polynucleotides—would require both a geologically plausible source of the element and pathways for its incorporation into chemical systems on the primitive Earth. The mineral apatite, which is the only significant source of phosphate on Earth, has long been thought to be

A Chemist’s Perspective on the Role of Phosphorus at the Origins of Life
Life, 2017 The central role that phosphates play in biological systems, suggests they also played an important role in the emergence of life on Earth. In recent years, numerous important advances have been made towards understanding the influence that phosphates ...
