Exchemist, does this interest you?  I think it was you who expressed an interest in how life began on Earth.

Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have developed a fascinating new theory for how life on Earth may have begun.

Yes thanks for this Hazel. It looks like another piece of the jigsaw, to go along with the phosphorylation research you mentioned in a previous thread. This cycle converts stored chemical energy to ATP, for use in the cells. So it provides the energy for oxidative phosphorylation, which was the process researched in the previous article you posted. In that case they found a simpler way of achieving this phosphorylation, using something called DAP. In this work they look for simpler ways of bringing the energy needed for the process, using these two other cycles they have found that can also oxidise terminal units off a carbon chain to CO2 and release energy in a form suitable to drive oxidative phosphorylation 

 

In fact I see it is the same researcher, at the same institute in both case, this Krishnamurthy person.
