The fields of interest encompassed by this quest are multiple and interdisciplinary: chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, mathematics, geology but also statistics, atmospheric science, meteorology, oceanography, and astrophysics. Recent scientific discoveries, such as water on Mars and the existence of super-Earths with atmospheres similar to primordial Earth, have pushed researchers to simulate prebiotic conditions in explaining the abiotic formation of molecules essential to life. This collection of articles offers an overview of recent discoveries in the field of prebiotic chemistry of biomolecules, their formation and selection, and the evolution of complex chemical systems.mineralsinosinecarbamic acidprebiotic chemistrypentopyranose nucleic acidcatalysisMVC architecture pattern and biological informationcarbon dioxide-ammonia icesstability as a selection pressureribozyme and tRNAtranslation and the genetic codeAnyLogic software for computer simulation of translation machineDarwinian evolutionprebiotic information systemgenetic code originelectrochemistrycoevolution of translation machine and the genetic codedigit multiplicitythermodynamic bottleneckabasic oligomersselectionnucleotide stabilityAICARtRNA-synthetasehypercyclenucleotide oligomerizationorigin of lifethioesterdry-wet cyclesChemomimesispopulation growthtRNA and mRNAdiversityearly peptidesMolecular DarwinismtRNA accretion modelreplicationaldol reactionhydrothermal ventsbase pairingnumerical codonsabiogenesispurine precursorpeptide/RNA worldinformationab initio molecular dynamicsRNAcysteinenucleotide and nucleoside synthesisthiol-rich peptidesnovel metalloproteinstransmissionfunctionenergy currencyanharmonicityarabinopyranose nucleic acidbridge peptide and aaRSaminonitrilesmechanochemistryprebiotic polymerizationorigins of lifeencodingcarbon fixationinfrared spectraphosphoryl transfermetabolismgrowth orderlayered double hydroxide (LDH) claymolecular clocksMonte Carlobinary patterned amino acid sequencesnetwork expansion simulationprebiotic soupnucleotidyltransferasesmixed anhydridephosphatestranslationribosomepentose diphosphatemonosaccharidessystems chemistryreductionimidazolesprotein designFiore Michele1312140ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367749403321The Origin and Early Evolution of Life3038915UNINA
