Thermodynamic Assessment of Prebiotic Molecule Formation Pathways on Comets

Comets are chemically rich and thermally extreme, spanning surface temperatures from ~50 K in the Oort Cloud to >1000 K for sungrazing bodies. These conditions may support key steps of prebiotic chemistry, including the synthesis of nucleic acid precursors. This study present a thermodynamic eval...
