Prediction of the Maximum Temperature for Life Based on the Stability of Metabolites to Decomposition in Water

The components of life must survive in a cell long enough to perform their function in that cell. Because the rate of attack by water increases with temperature, we can, in principle, predict a maximum temperature above which an active terrestrial metabolism cannot function by analysis of the decomp...
