Prebiotic Chemistry and the Origin of Life
Prebiotic Chemistry and the Origin of Life[electronic resource] /edited by Anna Neubeck, Sean McMahon. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIII, 296 p. 65 illus., 44 illus. in color.online resource. - Advances in Astrobiology and Biogeophysics,1613-1851. - Advances in Astrobiology and Biogeophysics,.

Transition Metal Organometallic/Metallorganic Chemistry: Its Role in Prebiotic Chemistry and Life’s Origin -- Mineralogical Environments of the Hadean Eon: Rare Elements were Ubiquitous in Surface Sites of Rock-forming Minerals -- The Geological Platform for the Origin of Life on Earth -- Homochirality: a Prerequisite or Consequence of Life? -- Origin of Nucleic Acids -- Abiotic Synthesis and Role of Amphiphiles in the Encapsulation Process in Life’s Origin -- First Steps towards Molecular Evolution -- Virus Origins and the Origin of Life -- Reconstructing the Last Universal Common Ancestor -- Earliest Traces of Life as a Window on Life’s Origins -- Origin and Early Evolution of the Eukaryotes: Perspectives from the Fossil Record.

This book presents an overview of current views on the origin of life and its earliest evolution. Each chapter describes key processes, environments and transition on the long road from geochemistry and astrochemistry to biochemistry and finally to the ancestors of today´s organisms. This book combines the bottom-up and the top-down approaches to life including the origin of key chemical and structural features of living cells and the nature of abiotic factors that shaped these features in primordial environments. The book provides an overview of the topic as well as its state of the art for graduate students and newcomers to the field. It also serves as a reference for researchers in origins of life on Earth and beyond.
