The relevance of hot molecular cores (HMCs) to the solar nebula has been strengthened as evidence emerges for a hot core phase in low mass star formation regions. Consequently, interferometric studies of large highly saturated molecules of biological interest (biomolecules) in HMCs have been extended to comets. A key goal is the interferometric detection and mapping of large biomolecules, which could be formed along chemical pathways similar to those for HMC species.
