Atmospheric formaldehyde production on early Mars leading to a potential formation of bio-important molecules
Abstract Formaldehyde (H2CO) is a critical precursor for the abiotic formation of biomolecules, including amino acids and sugars, which are the building blocks of proteins and RNA. Geomorphological and geochemical evidence on Mars indicates a temperate environment compatible with the existence of su...
