Thioesters provide a plausible prebiotic path to proto-peptides
Nature Communications, 2022 One of the early processes enabling the origins of life is thought to be the condensation of building blocks into oligomers and polymers. In this article, the authors report the synthesis of thiodepsipeptides and HS-peptides under mild temperatures and ...

Life, 2022 It is increasingly likely that many non-communicable diseases of humans and associated animals are due to the degradation of their intestinal microbiomes, a situation often referred to as dysbiosis.

Microbiome–Gut Dissociation: Investigating the Origins of Obesity
Gastrointestinal Disorders, 2021 The reduction of excessive weight remains a major public health challenge, with control currently limited to a calorie reduction strategy. Currently, attempts are being made at revisiting the fibre hypothesis based on the African studies of Denis Burkitt,

Prevalent emergence of reciprocity among cross-feeding bacteria
ISME Communications, 2022 Explaining the de novo evolution of obligate cooperative cross-feeding interactions among bacteria is a fundamental problem. A critical step during this process is the emergence of reciprocity among two interaction partners, because a mutually beneficial

Mutually stabilizing interactions between proto-peptides and RNA
Nature Communications, 2020 Cooperative relationships are widespread among different classes of biopolymers and are predicted to have existed during emergence of life. This study shows that proto-peptides engage in mutually stabilizing interactions with RNA, providing support for ...

Modelling the Chemical Evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractAdvanced observational facilities allow to trace back the chemical evolution of the Universe, on the one hand, from local objects of different ages and, secondly, by direct observations of redshifted objects. The chemical enrichment serves as one of the cornerstones of cosmological evolution.

THE CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF PHOSPHORUS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Phosphorus is one of the few remaining light elements for which little is known about its nucleosynthetic origin and chemical evolution, given the lack of optical absorption lines in the spectra of long-lived FGK-type stars. We have identified a P I doublet in the near-ultraviolet (2135/2136 A) that is measurable in stars of low metallicity.
