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 ...
The prefixes (A01, etc.) are linked to more extensive sub-lists of codes; the medical terms are linked to articles on those topics. The source for this content is the set of 2024 MeSH Trees from NLM. [2] A – Anatomy. A01 – body regions (74 articles) A02 – musculoskeletal system (213 articles) A03 – digestive system (98 articles)
A total of 6.1 million prokaryotic genes from Bacteria and Archaea were sequenced, identifying 355 protein clusters from among 286,514 protein clusters that were probably common to the LUCA. The results suggest that the LUCA was anaerobic with a Wood–Ljungdahl (reductive Acetyl-CoA) pathway, nitrogen- and carbon-fixing, thermophilic.
First 90 positions of a protein multiple sequence alignment of instances of the acidic ribosomal protein P0 (L10E) from several organisms. Generated with ClustalX.. Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is the process or the result of sequence alignment of three or more biological sequences, generally protein, DNA, or RNA.
In 1997, Matsuda, et al. devised a code they called the "three-dimensional chain code" for representing the protein structure as a string of letters. This encoding scheme reveals the similarity between the proteins much more clearly than the amino acid sequence (example from article): [ 12 ] The code encodes the torsion angles between alpha ...
Repeated sequences (also known as repetitive elements, repeating units or repeats) are short or long patterns that occur in multiple copies throughout the genome.In many organisms, a significant fraction of the genomic DNA is repetitive, with over two-thirds of the sequence consisting of repetitive elements in humans.

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 ...
[28] This is because it was the first comprehensive insight into genetic information (later called the central dogma of molecular biology), protein synthesis (known as the sequence hypothesis), the role of RNA (the adaptor hypothesis) as well as the existence of genetic code.
