Abstract

This work presents a brief summary of prebiotic molecules successfully detected by several research teams mainly with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The molecules in question have been found in a wide variety of astrophysical environments: starbust galaxies, molecular clouds, protostars, Venus, and Titan. A short discussion about the connections between the different prebiotic molecules such as their abundance ratios, temperature dependance as well as their possible origin or formation routes toward amino acids are also presented.
