Ancient Living Organisms Escaping from, or Imprisoned in, the Vents?
We have recently criticised the natural pH gradient hypothesis which purports to explain how the difference in pH between fluid issuing from ancient alkali vents and the more acidic Hadean ocean could have driven molecular machines that catalyse reactions that are useful in prebiotic and autotrophic chemistry. In this article, we temporarily suspend our earlier criticism while we consider diffi...
متن کاملBioelectrodynamics in living organisms
This article introduces an interdisciplinary subject of bioelectrodynamics in living organisms and its related research challenges and opportunities. Bioelectrodynamics in living organisms is aimed to reveal critical roles of electromagnetism and mechanics in biology, to correlate biophysical functions of living organisms with biochemical processes at the cellular level, and to introduce theore...
متن کاملPolyamines in living organisms
Natural polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine are ubiquitous cell components essential for normal cellular functions and growth. Chemically these compounds are very simple organic aliphatic cations and fully protonated under physiological conditions. There is a strong correlation between proliferation rate of the cells and their polyamine contents. Adjustments of intracellular concent...
متن کاملGene direction in living organisms
Gene direction, which is important for function, has not been subjected to statistical testing for randomness and for the degree of evolutionary changes. We analyzed 747 sequenced species and 2,061 genomes/ chromosomes and detected clear differences in gene direction between kingdoms. All the archaeans, bacteria, and protozoa analyzed have genes characterized mainly by same-direction neighbors ...
متن کاملEscaping from the Box
This paper presents a solution to the problem of the creation of new terms by suggesting that representations can come from the environment, and that through experience an agent discovers which representations are useful. If suitable feature building mechanisms are built into a system then it can build a large number of features of an object in the environment, many of which may be redundant. T...
