不利的反应也可以由非常有利的反应驱动,如铁硫化学反应。例如,这对碳固定(碳从其无机形式转化为有机形式)可能很重要。通过铁硫化学反应进行的碳固定是非常有利的,在中性pH值和100C时发生。深海热液喷口附近丰富的铁硫表面也能产生少量的氨基酸和其他生物代谢物。

在Miller-Urey实验时,科学界的共识是,早期地球有一个还原性大气层,其化合物中氢气相对丰富,而氧气相对贫乏(如CH<sub>4</sub>和NH<sub>3</sub>,而不是CO<sub>2</sub> 和二氧化氮(NO<sub>2</sub>))。然而,目前的科学共识将原始大气层描述为弱还原性或中性<ref name="Cleaves 2008">{{cite journal |last1=Cleaves |first1=H.

20世纪70年代,托马斯·戈德 Thomas Gold提出了生命最初不是在地球表面,而是在地球表面以下几公里处发展起来的理论。据称,如果在我们的太阳系另一个天体表面以下发现微生物生命,将为这一理论提供重要的凭证。Gold还断言,从深不可测的源头获得涓涓细流的食物是生存所需要的,因为在一滩有机物中产生的生命很可能会消耗掉所有的食物而灭绝。Gold的理论是,这种食物的流动是由于地幔中原始甲烷的逸出所致;对深层微生物(远离沉积碳化合物)的食物供应,更传统的解释是,生物靠水和岩石中(还原的)铁化合物之间的相互作用释放的氢气为生。

The first organisms were self-replicating iron-rich clays which fixed carbon dioxide into oxalic and other dicarboxylic acids. This system of replicating clays and their metabolic phenotype then evolved into the sulfide rich region of the hotspring acquiring the ability to fix nitrogen. Finally phosphate was incorporated into the evolving system which allowed the synthesis of nucleotides and phospholipids. If biosynthesis recapitulates biopoiesis, then the synthesis of amino acids preceded the synthesis of the purine and pyrimidine bases. Furthermore, the polymerization of the amino acid thioesters into polypeptides preceded the directed polymerization of amino acid esters by polynucleotides.
