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

The influence of galactic cosmic rays on ion-neutral hydrocarbon chemistry in the upper atmospheres of free-floating exoplanets [PDF]
, 2014 The authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry.

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”.

Infra-Red Assisted Synthesis of Prebiotic Glycine [PDF]
, 2019 In the present study, we have shown for the first time how glycine can be synthesized under prebiotic-like conditions using an Infra-Red laser to trigger the reaction.

Organic compounds in fluid inclusions of Archean quartz-Analogues of prebiotic chemistry on early Earth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The origin of life is still an unsolved mystery in science. Hypothetically, prebiotic chemistry and the formation of protocells may have evolved in the hydrothermal environment of tectonic fault zones in the upper continental crust, an environment where ...

Scum of the Earth: A Hypothesis for Prebiotic Multi-Compartmentalised Environments
Life, 2021 Compartmentalisation by bioenergetic membranes is a universal feature of life. The eventual compartmentalisation of prebiotic systems is therefore often argued to comprise a key step during the origin of life.

Harnessing Chemical Energy for the Activation and Joining of Prebiotic Building Blocks [PDF]
, 2019 Simultaneous activation of carboxylates and phosphates provides multiple pathways for the generation of reactive intermediates, including mixed carboxylic acid-phosphoric acid anhydrides, for the synthesis of peptidyl-RNAs, peptides, RNA oligomers and ...

Journal of Membrane Science Letters, 2022 Loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes have shown promises in achieving efficient separation on molecular level at relatively low pressure. In this study, a zwitterionic PES/AMN/PSBAE LNF membrane was designed by co-depositing the AMN and an in-house made ...
