Prebiotic Chemistry Insights for Dragonfly II: Thermodynamic Favorability of Nucleobases, Ribose, and Fatty Acids in Selk Crater on Titan
Thermodynamic modeling shows ammonia abundance controls accessibility of nucleobases, ribose, and fatty acids in Selk crater aqueous environments on Titan, with all classes becoming favorable above 1% NH3 and chain-length patterns matching meteorites.
