Abstract

This study presents a computational analysis of the stability of prebiotic molecules, with a specific focus on glycine, the simplest amino acid, in extraterrestrial environments. The research aims to evaluate the survivability of glycine under varying physical and chemical conditions such as extreme temperatures, radiation exposure, and vacuum conditions that are characteristic of space and planetary bodies. Using theoretical modeling and data-based analysis, the study explores how environmental factors influence the structural integrity and degradation pathways of glycine. The findings provide insights into the potential persistence of prebiotic molecules beyond Earth and their possible role in the origin of life. This work contributes to the broader understanding of astrochemistry and the feasibility of life-supporting molecular systems in extraterrestrial settings.
