Evolution of interstellar ethanolamine towards amino acids and peptides
This study demonstrates that energetic processing of the interstellar molecule ethanolamine in astrophysical ices efficiently generates amino acids, dipeptides, and cyclodipeptides, revealing a viable non-aqueous pathway for prebiotic chemical evolution prior to planetary accretion.
