Prebiotic formation of thioesters via cyclic anhydrides as a key step in the emergence of metabolism [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThioesters are high-energy derivatives of carboxylic acids that are essential in the functioning of today’s living cells. Their central role argues in favor of their early introduction in the abiotic reaction network which led to the emergence of life on

New Experiments on Abiogenesis [PDF]
Nature, 1873 HAVING occupied myself for some time past with an experimental study of abiogenesis, I have followed with much interest the controversies on that question in recent numbers of NATURE, and beg leave therefore to state to the readers of this journal the results of my experiments, which form in my opinion a not unimportant contribution to the solution of ...

The Sorites Paradox, “Life,” and Abiogenesis [PDF]
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2012 Abstract The ancient Greek philosopher Eubulides of Miletus drew attention to the impossibility of defining a point of transition between two states or conditions at opposite ends of a continuum. The ensuing “drawing the line” conundrum—the sorites paradox—arises from the vague predicates which humans use to convey concepts. It is argued that

Elements of life: The role of phosphorus in abiogenesis [PDF]
The Biochemist, 2014 The element phosphorus performs several key roles in modern-day biochemistry. These include acting as a store of chemical energy in phosphate anhydride bonds such as ATP, linking together nucleosides as part of DNA and RNA, and separating cells from the outside environment as phospholipid membranes.

Selecting continuous life-like cellular automata for halting unpredictability: evolving for abiogenesis [PDF]
GECCO Companion, 2022 Substantial efforts have been applied to engineer CA with desired emergent properties, such as supporting gliders. Recent work in continuous CA has generated a wide variety of compelling bioreminiscent patterns, and the expansion of CA research into ...

Abiogenesis in Upper Secondary Biology Curricula [PDF]
Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2010 Biological evolution and abiogenesis are distinct branches of science, although they are closely related in the context of a holistic evolutionary conceptual framework. The relationship between evolution and abiogenesis furnishes profound insights into the nature of science, a much emphasised aspect of modern science education.
