Origin of Life: The Challenge of Achieving Homochirality with Mineral Surfaces
There are sound counterarguments to the plethora of schemes that OOL researchers devise in trying to account for how life could have emerged abiotically.
Do Present Proposals on Chemical Evolutionary Mechanisms Point Toward the First Life?
Abiogenesis is the prebiotic process wherein life, such as a cell, arises from non-living materials such as simple organic compounds.
Same-Handed Molecules Are an “Overarching Design Principle” in Life, Say Researchers
Without foresight to solve heterochiral incidents, a primordial cell would quickly perish even if, against all odds, it began homochiral.
