The Origin of Life--Out of the Blue.
Angewandte Chemie, 2016Either to sustain autotrophy, or as a prelude to heterotrophy, organic synthesis from an environmentally available C1 feedstock molecule is crucial to the origin of life.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English, 1973
AbstractThe theory of the evolution of the species, which is today widely accepted, requires a starting point. It is postulated that the biological starting point could have emerged only if chemical evolution had preceded it. Experiments are described which show the formation of organic substances from inorganic gases under conditions which prevailed ...

How simple chemical reactions self-assembled into complex, robust networks at the origin of life is unknown. This general problem-self-assembly of dissipative molecular networks-is also important in understanding the growth of complexity from simplicity ...

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2005
Sea ice occurs abundantly at the polar caps of the Earth and, probably, of many other planets. Its static and dynamic properties that may be important for prebiotic and early biotic reactions are described. It concentrates substrates and has many features that are important for catalytical actions. We propose that it provided optimal conditions for the

The Origin of Life in Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents.
Astrobiology, 2016Over the last 70 years, prebiotic chemists have been very successful in synthesizing the molecules of life, from amino acids to nucleotides. Yet there is strikingly little resemblance between much of this chemistry and the metabolic pathways of cells, in

, 2014 Biological evolution begins with the origin of life, but the subject is the perhaps the most interdisciplinary of any in science. Understanding how life began on Earth requires knowledge of the astronomical, geological, and atmospheric settings. However, those settings are in turn dependent on knowing the time period when life arose, which comes from ...

The origins of research into the origins of life
Endeavour, 2006Most scientists at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century chose to ignore the question of the origin of life on Earth, regarding it as too mysterious and complex to handle. Yet, in the early 1950s an experimental field devoted to the study of the problem made its first steps. The pioneering theories of several scientists in the first

Hypercycles and the origin of life
Nature, 1979Perhaps the most difficult step to explain in the origin of life is that from the replication of molecules (RNA for example) in the absence of specific proteins, to the appearance of polymerases and other proteins involved in the replication of RNA and themselves coded for by that RNA.

Origins of Life, 1977
Random chemical reactions in the Earth's primitive hydrosphere could have generated no more than 200 bits of information, whereas the first Darwinian organism must have encoded about a million bits, and therefore could not have arisen by chance. This information gap is bridged by separating reproduction from organism, and postulating a reproductive ...

Since the dawn of human civilization, man has been confronted with the mysteries of his origin and fate, and the nature of life itself. In the earliest accounts of Egyptian, Indian, Asian, and Greek cultures, we find a mixture of de facto acceptance of the continuous creation of life and some mythical description of man’s own origin (Oparin).
