Scientists Unearth Primordial Photoredox Catalyst
Researchers have demonstrated that a solid formed from ammonia and methane plasma can use sunlight to catalyze amine-to-imine conversions, a process potentially pivotal in the formation of early biomolecules. The study suggests the primordial atmosphere may have provided the necessary catalysts for such conversions, supporting the evolution of early RNA molecules.
