In the biochemical field, glycolaldehyde has been identified as a by-product in yeast fermentations, by Neuberg2, who assumed that it arose via hydroxypyruvic acid. Nature - Formation of ...

Olivine-catalyzed glycolaldehyde and sugar synthesis under aqueous conditions: Application to prebiotic chemistry. Journal: Earth and Planetary Science Letters Published: 2024-01-01 ...

This study focuses on the formation of two molecules of astrobiological importance – glycolaldehyde (HC(O)CH2OH) and ethylene glycol (H2C(OH)CH2OH) – by surface hydrogenation of CO molecules.

The predicted abundance of glycolaldehyde depends on the ethanol abundance in the gas phase and is in excellent agreement with the measured one in hot corinos and shock sites.

Glycolaldehyde has been spotted in the galactic center, but the conditions there are considered too harsh for life. This is the first time it has been spotted in a milder region of the galaxy.

A sugar molecule linked to the origin of life was discovered in a potentially habitable region of our galaxy. The molecule, called glycolaldehyde, was spotted in a large star-forming area of space ...

Anti-glycolaldehyde oxide (E-(CH 2 OH)CHOO) is a substituted Criegee intermediate produced in the ozonolysis of unsaturated alcohols. In this article, ...

Glycolaldehyde was first discovered toward the galactic centre in 2000. But the extreme conditions there made it unclear if the molecule could form in the rest of the galaxy. To find out, Maria Teresa ...

Glycolaldehyde, the simplest of the monosaccharide sugars, can react with the substance propenal to form ribose, a central constituent of Ribonucleic acid (RNA), ...

Glycolaldehyde has been seen in interstellar space before [2], but this is the first time it has been found so near to a Sun-like star, ...

Glycolaldehyde can react with a substance called propenal to form ribose, which is a major component of RNA, or ribonucleic acid. RNA is similar to DNA, which is considered one of the primary ...
