Asteroid evidence suggests building blocks of life formed in the frozen outer solar system
In A Nutshell Ancient frozen chemistry: New analysis of pristine samples from asteroid Bennu suggests its amino acids formed ...
Amino acids, the building blocks necessary for life, were previously found in samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an asteroid called Bennu, delivered to Earth in 2023 by NASA's OSIRIS-REx ...

Experiment shows complex molecules can form on space dust — offering new clues to the origins of life
The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.
Plants produce all amino acids essential for human life. This commonly occurs in specialised cell organelles, so-called plastids. A research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) ...

Analyzing material from a distant space rock
When NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission brought back samples from asteroid 101955 Bennu, researchers found that they contained amino ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
Although the myriad proteins found in all life are largely built from a set of 20 amino acids, many other amino acids exist in nature, and it remains a curiosity as to why some were ultimately ...
Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...
