The organic compounds synthesized in the primitive atmosphere and oceans
would have decomposed with time in many different ways. Although organic
compounds could have been resynthesized from the decomposition products if

At low temperatures the decomposition of organic compounds and polymers is
slowed down greatly. Furthermore, at low temperatures the concentration of
organic compounds of the eutectic-freezing mechanism could have occurred.

Perhaps in some of these cases the synthetic pathway parallels pathways of
decomposition that involved components of the prebiotic soup. The biosynthesis
of pyrimidines, for example, may parallel their photochemical decomposition in
the ...
