Catalyzed Synthesis of Zinc Clays by Prebiotic Central Metabolites

Catalyzed Synthesis of Zinc Clays by Prebiotic Central Metabolites

How primordial metabolic networks such as the reverse tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle and clay mineral catalysts coevolved remains a mystery in the puzzle to understand the origin of life. While prebiotic reactions from the rTCA cycle were accomplished via photochemistry on semiconductor minerals, t...
