Abstract

Exploring the chemical space of prebiotic reactions is crucial for understanding the emergence of life. However, the combinatorial explosion of compounds and the lack of user-friendly computational tools pose significant challenges. To address these issues, we developed Rule-it, a web platform that enables prebiotic chemists to build, expand, prune, and visualize chemical reaction networks. The platform integrates experimental data and provides a comprehensive framework for studying chemical evolution. By simplifying the generation and analysis of reaction networks, Rule-it aims to advance research in prebiotic chemistry.
