Exploring the Core Formose Cycle: Catalysis and Competition
The core autocatalytic cycle of the formose reaction may be enhanced or eroded by the presence of simple molecules at life’s origin. Utilizing quantum chemistry, we calculate the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions both within the core cycle and those that deplete the reactants and intermediate...
