Researchers believe modern metabolism evolved from the geochemistry of early Earth .
Past models of metabolism have consistently failed to produce many of the complex molecules used by modern life.
A key precursor to purines, which are important building blocks for DNA and RNA , was not found in the model's expansion scope.
Only eight new reactions needed to bridge geochemistry and biochemistry.
The study was published in March in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution .
The blueprint to the chemistry that led to the emergence of life can be found in extant biochemistry, the study's authors said.
The findings should encourage others in the field to keep probing this transition.
