Effects of pH and Redox Gradients on Prebiotic Organic Synthesis and the Generation of Free Energy in Simulated Hydrothermal Systems
Abstract
Hydrothermal minerals in alkaline vents can promote phosphorus and organic concentration, redox reactions driven by catalytic metal sulfides, and the ambient pH and redox gradients can affect the synthesis of organics.
