Shielding from UV Photodamage: Implications for Surficial Origins of Life Chemistry on the Early Earth

[Image: see text] UV light has been invoked as a source of energy for driving prebiotic chemistry, but such high energy photons are also known to cause damage to biomolecules and their precursors. One potential mechanism for increasing the lifetime of UV-photounstable molecules is to invoke a protec...
