Making sugars from cyanide: an alternative to the formose reaction
An unobvious carbon source for sugar synthesis on the early Earth can be found in hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Let us explore how to make sugars
Let us take a look behind-the-scenes at the current hypotheses, evidence, and practices as the interdisciplinary scientific community attempt to piece together life's advent. However, as the great Albert Eschenmoser once said, "The origin of life cannot be ‘discovered’, it has to be ‘re-invented’."
