Description: Prebiotic PhotochemistryFrom Urey-Miller-like Experiments to Recent Findings Author(s): Franz Saija, Giuseppe Cassone Format: Hardback Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry, United Kingdom Imprint: Royal Society of Chemistry ISBN-13: 9781839161773, 978-1839161773 Synopsis Photochemistry is an important facet in the study of the origin of life and prebiotic chemistry. Solar photons are the unique source of the large amounts of energy likely required to initiate the organisation of matter to produce biological life. The Miller-Urey experiment simulated the conditions thought to be present on the early earth and supported the hypothesis that under such conditions complex organic compounds could be synthesised from simpler inorganic precursors. The experiment inspired many others, including the production of various alcohols, aldehydes and organic acids through UV-photolysis of water vapour with carbon monoxide. This book covers the photochemical aspects of the study of prebiotic and origin of life chemistry an ideal companion for postgraduates and researchers in prebiotic chemistry, photochemistry, photobiology, chemical biology and astrochemistry.
