Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Copernican principle states that Earth has not any privileged position in the universe. In astrobiological terms, it means that terrestrial life, including the human beings, has not any particularly privileged, special, or unique position in the universe, which leads to the assumption that, given the presence of life on Earth, life will exist also in other places in the universe.

Automated exploration of prebiotic chemical reaction space: progress and perspectives
- 2021

In: Life. - : MDPI AG. - 0024-3019 .- 2075-1729. ; 11:11

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Prebiotic chemistry often involves the study of complex systems of chemical reactions that form large networks with a large number of diverse species. Such complex systems may have given rise to emergent phenomena that ultimately led to the origin of life on Earth. The environmental conditions and processes involved in this emergence may not be fully recapitulable, making it difficult for experimentalists to study prebiotic systems in laboratory simulations. Computational chemistry offers efficient ways to study such chemical systems and identify the ones most likely to display complex properties associated with life. Here, we review tools and techniques for modelling prebiotic chemical reaction networks and outline possible ways to identify self-replicating features that are central to many origin-of-life models.
