Formation of sugar phosphates under potentially natural conditions

1998
Journal paper
Abstract

In studies related to the origin of life on Earth, the authors considered the geochem. conditions for the formation of tetrose-, pentose-, and hexose phosphates in the Archean. Some of the reactions depend on bilateral surface active minerals for concn. and induction. One such mineral is ferroferric hydroxide (green rust), which is a likely predecessor of sedimentary magnetite, a major component of Archean banded iron formations. Such iron formations host the oldest known traces of life on Earth according ti S. J. Mojzsis et al. (1996). [on SciFinder (R)]
