The challenge for abiogenesis (origin of life) [7] [8] [9] researchers is to explain how such a complex and tightly interlinked system could develop by evolutionary steps, as at first sight all its parts are necessary to enable it to function. For example, a cell, whether the LUCA or in a modern organism, copies its DNA with the DNA polymerase ...
A scenario is a set of related concepts pertinent to the origin of life (abiogenesis), such as the iron-sulfur world. Many alternative abiogenesis scenarios have been proposed by scientists in a variety of fields from the 1950s onwards in an attempt to explain how the complex mechanisms of life could have come into existence. These include ...
A proto-metabolism is a series of linked chemical reactions in a prebiotic environment that preceded and eventually turned into modern metabolism.Combining ongoing research in astrobiology and prebiotic chemistry, work in this area focuses on reconstructing the connections between potential metabolic processes that may have occurred in early Earth conditions.

[10] [11] Carl Zimmer has speculated that the chemical conditions, including boron, molybdenum and oxygen needed to create RNA, may have been better on early Mars than on early Earth. [12] [13] [14] If so, life-suitable molecules originating on Mars would have later migrated to Earth via meteor ejections.
In order to discuss abiological life inside stars, Luis Anchordoqui and Eugene Chudnovsky suggest three postulates which must be satisfied by any reasonable definition of life: [4] The ability to encode information; The ability of information carriers to self-replicate faster than they disintegrate
This law prohibits any ingredients that have been found to cause cancer in either humans or animals, regardless of dose, to be used in food or cosmetics in the U.S. Which brings us to the research ...
The dynamics of the elementary hypercycle can be modelled using the following differential equation: [3] ˙ = (+,) where =, =. In the equation above, x i is the concentration of template I i; x is the total concentration of all templates; k i is the excess production rate of template I i, which is a difference between formation f i by self-replication of the template and its degradation d i ...
GADV-protein world is a hypothetical stage of abiogenesis.GADV stands for the one letter codes of four amino acids, namely, glycine (G), alanine (A), aspartic acid (D) and valine (V), the main components of GADV proteins.
