| Abstract |
Simple phosphorylation, isomerization, and aldolisation reactions starting from glyceraldehyde have the potential to lead to the synthesis of pre-ribonucleotide polymers through a primitive form of the Calvin cycle (dark phase of photosynthesis) involving the unusual formation of phospho-nonulose phosphate and phospho-deculose phosphate, as key intermediates. These reactions involve activated phosphates which are generated from schreibersite minerals, geochemically available in Hadean times. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2018.
All research outputs
#13,986,833
of 24,127,822 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Molecular Evolution
#1,070
of 1,474 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,016
of 333,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Molecular Evolution
#7
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,127,822 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,474 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,453 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
