Limited Influence of Oxygen on the Evolution of Chemical Diversity in Metabolic Networks
Oxygen is thought to promote species and biomolecule diversity. Previous studies have suggested that oxygen expands metabolic networks by acquiring metabolites with different chemical properties (higher hydrophobicity, for example). However, such conclusions are typically based on biased evaluation,...
