Tracing life's origins: Cambridge team explores early Earth conditions

London, UK (SPX) Apr 19, 2024 Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a model illustrating how conditions conducive to life may have arisen naturally. Their study focuses on the synthesis of essential life components like proteins, phospholipids, and nucleotides, crucially involving nitrogen-rich molecules such as nitriles and isonitriles. Past studies have highlighted these molecules' potential in fo
