  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life
    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.

    Perspective Effect of the Enantiomeric Ratio of Eutectics on the Results and Products of the Reactions Proceeding with the Participation of Enantiomers and Enantiomeric Mixtures Emese Pálovics *, Dorottya Fruzsina Bánhegyi and Elemér Fogassy Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 1521 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] (D.F.B.); [email protected] (E.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +36-1-4632101 Received: 3 August 2020; Accepted: 14 September 2020; Published: 21 September 2020 Abstract: This perspective is focused on the main parameters determining the results of crystallization of enantiomers or enantiomeric mixtures. It was shown that the ratio of supramolecular and helical associations depends on the eutectic composition of the corresponding enantiomeric mixture. The M and P ratios together with the self-disproportionation (SDE) of enantiomers define the reaction of the racemic compound with the resolving agent. Eventually, each chiral molecule reacts with at least two conformers with different degrees of M and P helicity. The combined effect of the configuration, charge distribution, constituent atoms, bonds, flexibility, and asymmetry of the molecules influencing their behavior was also summarized. Keywords: chiral molecules; enantiomeric separation; self-disproportionation of enantiomers; supramolecular associations; helical structure; eutectic composition 1. Introduction The preparation of asymmetric (chiral) compounds (enantiomers) is one of the main goals of research, industry and medicine. The preparation of a given enantiomer is possible in several ways, for example by selective synthesis, which requires the separation of the chiral catalyst or the enantiomers of the racemic compound, and in which case a resolving agent (like a chiral catalyst) may be required.

Heravi,* Vahideh Zadsirjan, Behnaz Farajpour Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Alzahra University, Vanak, Tehran, Iran Email: [email protected] Abstract Various chiral oxazolidinones (Evans' oxazolidinones) have been employed as effective chiral auxiliaries in the asymmetric alkylation of different enolates. This strategy has been found promising and successful when used as key step (steps) in the total synthesis of several biologically active natural products. In this report, we try to underscore the applications of Manuscript oxazolidinones as chiral auxiliary in asymmetric alkylation, and particularly in crucial chiral inducing steps in the total synthesis of natural products, showing biological activities.
