The Origin of Life-Out of the Blue

Either to sustain autotrophy, or as a prelude to heterotrophy, organic synthesis from an environmentally available C1 feedstock molecule is crucial to the origin of life. Recent findings augment key literature results and suggest that hydrogen cyanide—“Blausäure”—was that feedstock. Molecular compon...
