Summary: UV shielding mechanisms, such as self-shielding and nucleoside shielding, can increase the lifetime of UV-photounstable molecules like 2-aminooxazole (AO). Purine nucleosides provide more protection than pyrimidines, leading to a 2-3x enhancement in lifetime for AO. This suggests that a modest yield of nucleosides could potentially protect sensitive molecules during prebiotic synthesis.
