2021年4月21日 · Fast-forward to the 1920s when J.H.B.S. Haldane and A. Oparin offered an hypothesis about the life’s origins based on notions of the chemistry and physical conditions that might have existed on a prebiotic earth.

The prebiotic atmosphere is the second atmosphere present on Earth before today's biotic, oxygen-rich third atmosphere, and after the first atmosphere (which was mainly water vapor and simple hydrides) of Earth's formation.

2012年9月27日 · “Prebiotic chemistry” can be understood to mean various things: chemistry which occurred before life began or the chemistry which led to life on Earth, and possibly on other planets.

Microfossil evidence indicates that cellular life on Earth emerged during the Paleoarchean era be-tween 3.6 and 3.2 thousand million years ago (Gya) [1]. But what is really what we call life? How, where, and when did life arise on our planet? These questions have remained most-fascinating over the last hundred years.

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.

2006年10月10日 · In this article, I will review proposed terrestrial sources of prebiotic organic molecules, such as Miller–Urey synthesis (including how they would depend on the oxidation state of the atmosphere) and hydrothermal vents and also input from space.

Encapsulation of prebiotic molecules has further been shown to occur in gas bubbles , and it has been hypothesized that liposomes may have formed from lipids delivered by meteorites . Mineral membranes have been demonstrated to form under putative conditions of the earlier Earth, either in alkaline environments linked to serpentinization ( 15 ...

Based on an interdisciplinary approach, we propose basic transformations connecting geochemistry to the chemistry of formamide, and we hint at the possible extension of this perspective to other worlds. Keywords: formamide, prebiotic chemistry, geochemistry, biomorphs, origin of life. 1. Introduction.

2023年2月9日 · On page 582 of this issue, Trail and McCollom (2) report that zircons—natural silicate minerals in Earth’s crust—can constrain the fluid geochemistry of ancient hydrothermal systems. This provides a potential path to unraveling the fluid composition of early Earth and discerning life’s origins.
