Metagenomic Analysis of Soil Bacterial Community and Level of Genes Responsible for Biodegradation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons [PDF]
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017 The aim of the studies was to compare the composition of soil bacterial metabiomes originating from urbanized areas and areas contaminated with hydrocarbons with those from agricultural soil and forest soil obtained from a protected wild-life park ...

RNP-world: The ultimate essence of life is a ribonucleoprotein process
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022 The fundamental essence of life is based on process of interaction between nucleic acids and proteins. In a prebiotic world, amino acids, peptides, ions, and other metabolites acted in protobiotic routes at the same time on which RNAs performed catalysis

Thermodynamic origin of life [PDF]
, 2010 Abstract. Understanding the thermodynamic function of life may shed light on its origin. Life, as are all irreversible processes, is contingent on entropy production. Entropy production is a measure of the rate of the tendency of Nature to explore available microstates.

A carbonate-rich lake solution to the phosphate problem of the origin of life
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Phosphate is crucial for the origin of life because it is ubiquitous in key biomolecules. A major issue is that prebiotic syntheses use concentrated phosphate to incorporate phosphate into biomolecules, whereas natural waters are generally ...

Quantum Criticality at the Origin of Life [PDF]
, 2015 Why life persists at the edge of chaos is a question at the very heart of evolution. Here we show that molecules taking part in biochemical processes from small molecules to proteins are critical quantum mechanically.

The Coevolution of Cellularity and Metabolism Following the Origin of Life
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2020 The emergence of cellular organisms occurred sometime between the origin of life and the evolution of the last universal common ancestor and represents one of the major transitions in evolutionary history.

Acromegaly, Mr Punch and caricature. [PDF]
, 1996 The origin of Mr Punch from the Italian Pulcinella of the Commedia dell'arte is well known but his feature, large hooked nose, protruding chin, kyphosis and sternal protrusion all in an exaggerated form also suggest the caricature of an acromegalic. This

Factoring Origin of Life Hypotheses into the Search for Life in the Solar System and Beyond
Life, 2020 Two widely-cited alternative hypotheses propose geological localities and biochemical mechanisms for life’s origins. The first states that chemical energy available in submarine hydrothermal vents supported the formation of organic compounds and ...
