Exactly how non-living molecules sparked into life is one of the most puzzling mysteries of science. Now scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce ...

SN1 and SN2 reactions are fundamental types of nucleophilic substitution in organic chemistry, each with distinct mechanisms and characteristics. An SN1 reaction (Substitution Nucleophilic ...

The reaction generates amino acids and nucleic acids, the building blocks of proteins and DNA. Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today, devoid of life and covered by ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...
