Prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life

Born from twenty-five years of experimental research and a decade of bibliographic studies, this publication delves into the fascinating theory of life's abiotic origins. It begins with simple amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, revealing how these compounds, present from the prebiotic era and discovered in ancient meteorites, may have been pivotal in life's evolutionary journey.Focusing particularly on amino acids' chirality—that is, their existence in mirror-image right and left...
