Peptides are fragments of proteins that carry out biological functions. They act as signaling
entities via all domains of life and interfere with protein-protein interactions, which are …

The single chirality of biological molecules in terrestrial biology raises more questions than
certitudes about its origin. The emergence of biological homochirality (BH) and its …

Mechanochemical transformations have made chemists enter unknown territories, forcing a
different chemistry perspective. While questioning or revisiting familiar concepts belonging …

Life is a non‐equilibrium state of matter maintained at the expense of energy. Nature uses
predominantly chemical energy stored in thermodynamically activated, but kinetically stable …

While Nature harnesses RNA and DNA to store, read and write genetic information, the
inherent programmability, synthetic accessibility and wide functionality of these nucleic acids …

Prebiotic chemistry aims to explain how the biochemistry of life as we know it came to be.
Most efforts in this area have focused on provisioning compounds of importance to life by …

Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

The development of next-generation bioelectronics, as well as the powering of consumer
and medical devices, require power sources that are soft, flexible, extensible, and even …

INTRODUCTION Although hundreds of organic reactions have been validated under
consensus prebiotic conditions, we still have only a fragmentary understanding of how these …

Histidine, a versatile proteinogenic amino acid, plays a broad range of roles in all living
organisms and behaves as a key mediator of the interactions of biomolecules with inorganic …
