Step‐by‐Step Towards Biological Homochirality – from Prebiotic Randomness To Perfect Asymmetry
Chemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2, 2025.This review focuses on the theories related to the emergence of biological homochirality, from assembly of building blocks at the monomer level, to polymerization into functional homochiral biopolymers. Abstract The history of life's formation and the origin of its stereochemistry are nearly as multifaceted as the life itself.

The remarkable cell: Intelligently designed or by evolutionary process?
Verbum et Ecclesia, 2013 The objective of this article was to deal with the challenging theme of the Origin of Life. Science has been arguing the when and how of the beginning of life for centuries.

Bacterial Utilisation of Aliphatic Organics: Is the Dwarf Planet Ceres Habitable?
Life, 2022 The regolith environment and associated organic material on Ceres is analogous to environments that existed on Earth 3–4 billion years ago. This has implications not only for abiogenesis and the theory of transpermia, but it provides context for ...

Valuing life detection missions
, 2018 Recent discoveries imply that Early Mars was habitable for life-as-we-know-it; that Enceladus might be habitable; and that many stars have Earth-sized exoplanets whose insolation favors surface liquid water. These exciting discoveries make it more likely

Defined folding pattern of poly(rG) supports inherent ability to encode biological information
Biopolymers, Volume 115, Issue 6, November 2024.Abstract The RNA World hypothesis posits that RNA can represent a primitive life form by reproducing itself and demonstrating catalytic activity. However, this hypothesis is incapable of addressing several major origin‐of‐life (OoL) questions. A recently described paradox‐free alternative OoL hypothesis, the Quadruplex (G4) World, is based on the ...

THE PROTOBIOLOGICAL THEORY OF CEILINGS AND FLOORS, OR CHEMICAL EVOLUTION AS A PLANETARY PROCESS [PDF]
Filozofia i NaukaThe article presents a modern protobiological theory based on the classical archetype. It connects the issues of origins of life with the theory of the hierarchy of matter and recognizes that error correction occurs within hierarchical and dynamic living

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract An attractive flower from the island of Madagascar has in part saved the lives of thousands of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Random mutations and alterations to the genome led to the evolution of genes encoding enzymes, which would provide the periwinkle flower an arsenal of secondary metabolites to survive within the ...

Autonomous Development of Compositional Diversity in Self‐Spreading Flat Protocells
ChemSystemsChem, Volume 6, Issue 6, November 2024.We present a feasible pathway leading to a rudimentary type of protocell diversity and speciation based on the fusion of flat giant unilamellar lipid vesicles on solid surfaces. Abstract An experimental pathway to the spontaneous generation of compositionally diverse synthetic protocells is presented.
