- Abstract
The article titled "Cover Feature: Prebiotic Vitamin B3 Synthesis in Carbonaceous Planetesimals" discusses the possibility that the first asteroids in the solar system contained liquid water, making them chemical reactors. This aqueous chemistry may have allowed for the prebiotic synthesis of important molecules, such as vitamin B3, which has been found in samples returned by the Hayabusa2 space probe. These prebiotic molecules, delivered to Earth by meteorites, could have played a role in the origins of life on our planet. The article is authored by Klaus Paschek, Mijin Lee, Dmitry A. Semenov, and Thomas K. Henning.
