Transketolase reaction under credible prebiotic conditions.
A transketolase reaction was catalyzed by cyanide ion under prebiotic conditions instead of its modern catalyst, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). Cyanide ion converted fructose plus glyceraldehyde to erythrose plus xylulose, the same products as are formed in modern biochemistry (but without the phosphate groups on the sugars). Cyanide was actually a better catalyst than was TPP in simple solution...
متن کاملSugar Beet Genotypes Grouping under Normal and Saline Conditions
For ranking and grouping of full-sibs and hybrids of sugar beet obtained from breeding programs, two separate experiments were carried out at the farm of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Miandoab in 2017 under saline and normal conditions. For this purpose, 17 full-sibs and 28 hybrids differing in resistance and susceptibility to environmental stresses were investigate...
متن کاملStructural and energetic factors controlling the enantioselectivity of dinucleotide formation under prebiotic conditions.
Recently, it has been reported that the montmorillonite-catalyzed oligomerization of activated nucleotides exhibits remarkable enantioselectivity. In the current paper we investigate the structures and intrinsic energies of homochiral and heterochiral cyclic dinucleotides by means of accurate quantum chemical calculations in gas-phase and in bulk water. The steric effect of the clay is represen...
متن کاملAsymmetric organocatalytic formation of protected and unprotected tetroses under potentially prebiotic conditions.
Esters of proteinogenic amino acids efficiently catalyse the formation of erythrose and threose under potentially prebiotic conditions in the highest yields and enantioselectivities yet reported. Remarkably while esters of (L)-proline yield (L)-tetroses, esters of (L)-leucine, (L)-alanine and (L)-valine generate (D)-tetroses, offering the potential to account for the link between natural (L)-am...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Informational Molecules Formed under Prebiotic Conditions
All processes in extant biology are possible and facilitated by information encoded in polymers. Therefore, the origin of informational molecules had to be a crucial step in the origin of life on Earth. An important molecule in this context is RNA and the RNA World has been hypothesized as a crucial step in the transition from chemistry to biology. However, the RNA molecule is comprised of intr...
