This project explores the origins of metabolic pathways by recreating the synthesis of sugars and fats in the laboratory. It focuses on understanding how pre-enzymatic chemical reactions evolved into the complex biosynthetic pathways seen in living organisms today.
All of life’s molecules, including genetic polymers, are built up and broken down by interwoven chemical processes collectively known as metabolism.
But how did life’s chemical pathways emerge before there were genetically encoded enzymes to act as catalysts?
Why does biochemistry use the reactions and pathways that it does and not others?
One compelling answer to these questions is that precursors to core metabolic pathways emerged as the result of spontaneous chemical processes.
Indeed, recen…
