Thermodynamics of Potential CHO Metabolites in a Reducing Environment

How did metabolism arise and evolve? What chemical compounds might be suitable to support and sustain a proto-metabolism before the advent of more complex co-factors? We explore these questions by using first-principles quantum chemistry to calculate the free energies of CHO compounds in aqueous sol...
