The physical and chemical evolution of interstellar dust is followed using a combination of observations, theory and laboratory analog studies. Laboratory analog experimental results on photochemical processes in interstellar dust mantles induced by ultraviolet radiation in space are analyzed. The organic molecular products consist of a wide variety of species, many of which are of obvious prebiotic significance.
