Organics in Enceladus Plumes Resemble Earth's Amino-Acid Chemistry, Pointing to Prebiotic Pathways
To the point
Nitrogen- and oxygen-bearing organic molecules in Enceladus’s plumes could be precursors to amino acids, implying that its subsurface ocean and hydrothermal vents host life‑relevant chemistry, according to Jon Hillier and Nozair Khawaja.
