Key Points

• To explore the potential for non-enzymatic pathways involved in metabolite oxidation under conditions present in early Earth.
• Analysis of geochemical conditions reminiscent of early Earth.
• Modeling biochemical processes related to metabolite oxidation.
• Comparative studies of enzymatic versus non-enzymatic pathways.
• Identification of potential pathways for metabolite oxidation without enzyme involvement.
• Evidence supporting the viability of these pathways under ancient Earth-like conditions.
• Implicit relevance to understanding the origins of biochemical processes.
