Another step forward in understanding the origins of proteins on Earth. Nice work guys! Saidul Islam @DrCallumFoden Matthew Powner


Excited to share the 1st paper from my PhD, online now in Angewandte Chemie! TNA nucleotides can form under the same conditions that give ribonucleotides. Our route selects for the correct threo-isomer using UV irradiation to remove the unwanted by-products: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦

pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja⦠Check it out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. - everything you need to know about photochemistry that could have been promoted by the Sun on the young Earth, making the molecules of life! The main text is more attractive than the TOC, I promise :) #prebioticchemistry #ool


I have a new chemistry PhD position starting in Oct. 2022. This is a great opportunity to work on the origins of life at King's College London. Please RT and share- it would be a big help to me!

Just come out in JACS ASAP Chemistry to create loops in RNA under prebiotic conditions pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja⦠So pleased to contribute to this work. Well done Long-Fei Wu Liu Ziwei Szostak Lab

Yay! Our most recent article (experiment+theory) about the photochemistry of a potentially prebiotic precursor to RNA nucleotides, 2-thiooxazole, has just been published in PCCP ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art⦠Matthew Powner Sam Roberts Lauren Bertram CHEM@PWr Politechnika WrocÅawska
