A Shared Prebiotic Formation of Neopterins and Guanine Nucleosides from Pyrimidine Bases

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of César Menor-Salván, Facundo Fernández and Nicholas V. Hud at the University of Alcala and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The image depicts the authors contemplating the origin of pterins and guanosine nucleosides from a common precursor, with the art-gallery setting embodying their feeling that the common synthetic pathways of these molecules in both the prebiotic world and in biochemistry is a natural work of (chemical) art.
