Detection And Chemical Modelling Of Complex Prebiotic Molecule Cyanamide In The Hot Molecular Core G31.41+0.31
In the interstellar medium (ISM), the complex prebiotic molecule cyanamide (NH2CN) plays a key role in producing adenine (C5H5N5), purines (C5H4N4), pyrimidines (C4H4N2), and other biomolecules via a series of […]
