PRE-GENETICS. “The properties of the core phosphate-free network suggest that a thioester-based protometabolism may have started from a few, simple geochemically abundant molecules, and expanded to a surprisingly rich and diverse biochemistry, potentially a network-level “fossil” of biosphere metabolism, even prior to the appearance of the phosphate based genetic coding system.”
