Y. Li*, et al., Co-evolution of insoluble organic matter and silicate minerals driven by electrochemistry on the parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites, under review

Yamei Li*, Norio Kitadai, Jinfei Yu, Pengfei Zhang, Extraterrestrial amino acids evolve differently in asteroid Bennu and Ryugu: possible mechanisms and future perspectives, Fundamental Research, Accepted. Ryugu and Bennu asteroids are highly similar in terms of petrography, elemental composition, and isotopic composition; however, their amino acid distributions differ markedly. We discussed the possible causes of this difference and provided perspectives on future asteroid exploration and Martian moon exploration.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fmre.2026.05.016

Yamei Li*, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Yasuhito Sekine, Yoko Kebukawa, Yuko Nakano, Norio Kitadai, Naizhong Zhang, Xiaofeng Zang, Yuichiro Ueno, Gen Fujimori, Ryuhei Nakamura, Kosuke Fujishima, Junko Isa et al., Aqueous breakdown of aspartate and glutamate to n-ω-amino acids on the parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites and asteroid Ryugu, Science Advances, 2023, 9, eadh7845 We quantitatively analyzed the reported distributions of amino acids and their decomposition products in different carbonaceous chondrite subtypes (CI, CR, and CM), as well as in returned samples from asteroid Ryugu. At the molecular level, these results demonstrated that CI chondrites and the Ryugu returned samples may have originated from the same type of parent body.

Johnson-Finn, Geoelectrochemistry-driven alteration of amino acids to derivative organics in carbonaceous chondrite parent bodies, Nature Communications 2022, 13(4893). We explored low-temperature decomposition pathways of amino acids mediated by mineral catalysis, and clarified the dominant role of these decomposition pathways on meteorite parent bodies.

Zening Yang, Yamei Li*, Norio Kitadai, Masahiro Yamamoto, Yuichiro Ueno, Yanjing Lu, Ailong Li, Kiyohiro Adachi, Akira Yamaguchi, Daisuke Hashizume, Ryuhei Nakamura*, Mineral-facilitated aqueous synthesis of hydrogen cyanide from prebiotically abundant amino acids for chemical evolution, PNAS, 2026, 123(13), doi: 10.1073/pnas.2515805123 Prebiotic chemistry relies on highly reactive carbon and nitrogen sources, such as HCN. We investigated how these fundamental building-block molecules can be synthesized and efficiently recycled within reaction networks？

Our work was highlighted in a PNAS commentary by Professor Martin Rahm, who suggested that our findings may help resolve a long-standing question: how could the synthetic precursors of life have accumulated on the early Earth? Did it all begin with hydrogen cyanide?

Nakamura*, Molybdenum sulfide: a bioinspired electrocatalyst for dissimilatory ammonia synthesis with geoelectrical current, Journal of Physical Chemistry C. 2017, 121 (4), 2154–2164 Energy metabolism and material synthesis in life depend largely on electron transfer. Before biological enzymes had evolved, minerals may have served as electron donors, electron acceptors, and/or electron mediators. What is the molecular mechanism underlying this role?

Carbon reduction powered by natural electrochemical gradients under submarine hydrothermal vent conditions, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2025, 147(32) Alkaline hydrothermal vents are considered to have provided early non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions. The interface among hydrothermal fluids, chimney minerals, and the ocean naturally maintained pH and Eh gradients analogous to those across biological membranes. Under such conditions, how did early carbon fixation occur?

Do sulfide minerals therefore exhibit structural and functional similarities to these enzymes? We monitored and resolved the structures of key active species using in situ Raman spectroscopy and quasi-in situ EPR spectroscopy.
