Vigile Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Good documentary on the progression of the research on abiogenesis. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/how-did-life-begin/ In this documentary Nobel Prize recipient Sir Harry Kroto attempts to answer one of world’s most puzzling question: how did life on earth come to be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser01 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I really like the theory of Mont Morilionite, where the clay would pull the amino acids together on its surface to create long chains of RNA.Not only that it would also take the lipid fatty acids necessary for a membrane and act as a catylist for membrane development, which in turn would encase pieces of RNA. The lipid membrane also naturally pulls in free floating amino acids almost as if it is eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReLaX Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't trust documentaries I really like the theory of Mont Morilionite, where the clay would pull the amino acids together on its surface to create long chains of RNA.Not only that it would also take the lipid fatty acids necessary for a membrane and act as a catylist for membrane development, which in turn would encase pieces of RNA. The lipid membrane also naturally pulls in free floating amino acids almost as if it is eating. Amino acids makes polypeptides and proteins, not RNA.
