The field of prebiotic chemistry has been dedicated over decades to finding abiotic routes
towards the molecular components of life. There is nowadays a handful of prebiotically …

HCN-derived polymers are a heterogeneous group of complex substances synthesized from
pure HCN; from its salts; from its oligomers, specifically its trimer and tetramer, amino-nalono …

Chemical reaction networks can be automatically generated from graph grammar
descriptions, where transformation rules model reaction patterns. Because a molecule graph …

New insights into the formation of interstellar cyanomethanimine, a species of great
relevance in prebiotic chemistry, are provided by electronic structure and kinetic calculations …

“Prebiotic soup” often features in discussions of origins of life research, both as a theoretical
concept when discussing abiological pathways to modern biochemical building blocks and …

We present an elaborate framework for formally modelling pathways in chemical reaction
networks on a mechanistic level. Networks are modelled mathematically as directed multi …

In the field of prebiotic chemistry, hydrogen cyanide (HCN)-derived polymers have been
studied for many years as a possible source of the precursors that provide the building …

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 …

The search for prebiotic chemical pathways to biologically relevant molecules is a long-
standing puzzle that has generated a menagerie of competing hypotheses with limited …

Prebiotic chemistry often involves the study of complex systems of chemical reactions that
form large networks with a large number of diverse species. Such complex systems may …
