  3. Organic #molecules delivered from #extraterrestrial materials may have played a key role in supplying building blocks for #life on #Earth.

    Now scientists report all five canonical #nucleobases—purines (#adenine and #guanine) and pyrimidines (#cytosine, #thymine and #uracil)—in samples returned from the C-type #asteroid (162173) #Ryugu.

    Samples from Ryugu, #Bennu and #Orgueil, which have a similar mineralogy and elemental composition, show purine-to-pyrimidine ratios negatively correlating with #ammonia.

    These observations indicate that the nucleobases in these samples may have formed via a shared pathway depending on the physicochemical environment of the respective parent bodies.

    The detection of diverse nucleobases in asteroid and meteorite materials demonstrates their widespread presence throughout the Solar System and reinforces the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the #prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth.

  9. Is it healthy or not? The question is, if a dish contains both nutritious and less nutritious ingredients, can it still be considered healthy? What are your thoughts? Naughty or not Fruity Yoghurt? Have a look at my blog on www.cookingwithmarchi.com for full discussion and recipes.

  10. [IRAP seminar] this Thursday at 11 a.m. by Grégoire Danger from Marseille's Laboratoire de Physique des Interactions Ioniques et Moléculaires (PIIM).

    He will address the question of the origin and evolution of organic matter in various astrophysical environments, from dense #molecular #clouds to small bodies (#asteroids and #comets) presumed to be involved in the development of #prebiotic #chemistry on the surface of #telluric #planets.

Geochemical and Photochemical Constraints on S[IV] Concentrations in Natural Waters on #Prebiotic Earth: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co -> Loathed by scientists, loved by nature - #sulfur and the #OriginOfLife: news.arizona.edu/story/loathed (a University of Arizona-led study shines a spotlight on sulfur, a chemical element that, while all familiar, has proved surprisingly resistant to scientific efforts in probing its role in the origin of life).

    "this #mineral can help turn #formaldehyde into sugars. The finding could help explain how the earliest organisms obtained sugars, which they use for energy and to build genetic molecules such as RNA and DNA."

    An inorganic mineral-based #protocell with #prebiotic radiation fitness nature.com/articles/s41467-023

    "#Deinococcus radiodurans is capable of surviving levels of #radiation that would kill most other living creatures. Study of this #bacteria reveals that it is able to do so because of the amount of #manganese ions in its cell."

  14. Key compounds that could support alien microbes or help #life emerge have been detected in the enormous plume of water that erupts from vents in #Enceladus’ icy shells.

    These compounds include hydrogen cyanide, which can be toxic to humans but is also a key building block for synthesizing more complex compounds including amino acids, sugars and nucleobases.

    Enceladus might be seen as a favorable #prebiotic system.

  15. Hydrothermal vents, vernal ponds, impact of space bodies

    These are three possible scenarios that could have turned prebiotic chemistry on early Earth into true life-forms.

  16. Observations by the #Curiosity rover at Gale Crater indicating that high-frequency wet–dry cycling occurred in early #Martian surface environments.

    As wet–dry cycling can promote #prebiotic polymerization, the Gale evaporitic basin may have been particularly conducive to these processes.

    This indicates that some 3.8–3.6 billion years ago #Mars may have sustained an Earth-like climate regime and surface environments favourable to prebiotic evolution.

  17. @Empathy1st There’s a swarm here already, & until we address air quality, and preemptively wearing #masks, reducing the public health services load, #variants will outmanoeuvre #Vaccine development..

    ..we’re reaching the point where we have no alternative but to also examine the basis of our immune systems aren’t we? Like, lower intestine walls & their interactions with microbes, with a view to immune fortification. An extra layer on the ‘Swiss cheese’ model of #mitigations. #Fibre #prebiotic
