Prebiotic chemistry is the study of the chemical reactions that may have occurred before the emergence of life on Earth, and the formation of biological molecules from non-living precursors. This field focuses on understanding how simple organic molecules, such as amino acids, nucleotides, and sugars, could have arisen and evolved into the complex molecules necessary for life. Prebiotic chemistry seeks to investigate the conditions and processes that could have led to the origin of life, including the role of factors such as primordial soup, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and extraterrestrial sources. By studying prebiotic chemistry, scientists aim to uncover the fundamental principles that govern the transition from inanimate matter to living organisms.
